RATE SCHEDULE FTS

FIRM TRANSPORTATION SERVICE

1. AVAILABILITY

This Rate Schedule FTS is available to any entity (hereinafter called Shipper)

which: (a) submits to Midcontinent Express Pipeline LLC (hereinafter called MEP) a

valid request as defined in Section 3 hereof as to which MEP has firm capacity available

on all affected portions of its System and the firm operational capability to satisfy; (b) is

awarded capacity consistent with the provisions of the Tariff; and (c) executes a Firm

Transportation Service Agreement (FTS Agreement) with MEP applicable to service

under this Rate Schedule FTS. The form of FTS Agreement is contained in this Tariff.

There is no limitation on the number of FTS Agreements any one Shipper may have.

2. APPLICABILITY, DEFAULTS AND CHARACTER OF SERVICE

2.1 The transportation service provided under this Rate Schedule FTS shall be

performed under Part 284 of the Commission's Regulations. This Rate Schedule FTS

shall apply to all Gas transported by MEP for Shipper pursuant to an FTS Agreement.

Service hereunder shall be provided on a firm basis. However, service may be interrupted

for any of the reasons set out in the applicable provisions of this Tariff. As more fully set

out in the General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff, MEP is not providing supply

service under this Rate Schedule.

2.2 MEP shall have the right to waive any one or more specific defaults by any

Shipper if such default will not affect the integrity of MEP's System or the quality of

service and if the waiver is provided on a basis which is not unduly discriminatory,

provided that such waiver is not inconsistent with any applicable Commission Regulations

or orders, and provided also that any waiver given to a Shipper by MEP shall be made

available to all similarly situated Shippers during the time period when it is in effect. No

such waiver shall operate or be construed as a waiver of any other existing or future

default or defaults, whether of a like or different character.

2.3 Service hereunder shall consist of the acceptance by MEP of Gas tendered

by Shipper or for Shipper's account for transportation at Receipt Points specified in or

applicable to the FTS Agreement, the transportation of that Gas through MEP's pipeline

System, and the delivery of that Gas by MEP to Shipper or for Shipper's account at the


FERC Gas Tariff




RATE SCHEDULE FTS

Delivery Points specified in or applicable to the FTS Agreement. MEP shall not be

required to accept Gas tendered in excess of the Maximum Daily Quantity (MDQ), plus

applicable Fuel Gas and Unaccounted For Gas, specified in the FTS Agreement for each

Receipt Point or Delivery Point or for the aggregate of all primary Receipt Points or

Delivery Points except as provided in Section 8 of this Rate Schedule FTS. Service

hereunder shall not encompass gathering services, transportation through the facilities of

any third party (except for facilities leased by MEP which are part of MEP's system),

processing, transportation of liquids, or transportation to processing facilities unless the

FTS Agreement so specifies.

2.4 Shipper shall only tender Gas for transportation under this Rate Schedule

to the extent such service would qualify under the applicable statutes, regulations and

Commission orders. For transportation to be provided under Subpart B of Part 284 of the

Commission's Regulations, Shipper shall provide to MEP certification including

sufficient information in order for MEP to verify that the service qualifies under Subpart

B of Part 284 of the Regulations. Where required by the Commission's Regulations,

Shipper shall cause the intrastate pipeline or local distribution company on whose behalf

the service will be provided to submit the necessary certification prior to tendering Gas

for transportation.

2.5 Awarding and allocation of capacity and scheduling and curtailment are all

governed by the General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff.

2.6 Shipper may release capacity dedicated to service under Shipper's FTS

Agreement(s) hereunder pursuant to MEP's Capacity Release Program to the extent

permitted by, and subject to the terms and conditions contained in, the General Terms

and Conditions of this Tariff.

2.7 MEP may negotiate with Foundation Shipper contractual provisions under

which: (a) a Foundation Shipper has a right to cause MEP to construct Preapproved

Capacity and also has the right to acquire such Preapproved Capacity at a mutually

agreed rate and term, upon timely exercise by the Foundation Shipper of such capacity

acquisition rights; and/or (b) a Foundation Shipper has the right, within a period of up to

five (5) years after the Commencement Date, to acquire unsubscribed firm System

capacity other than Preapproved Capacity at an agreed rate for an agreed term.

RATE SCHEDULE FTS

3. VALID REQUESTS

3.1 A request for service under this Rate Schedule FTS shall be valid as of the

date received if it complies with this Section 3.1 and contains adequate information on

all of the items specified in Section 3.2, subject to any necessary verification of such

information and to the following:

(a) Subject to Section 2.7, a request shall not be valid and MEP shall

not be required to grant any such request: (1) for which adequate capacity is not

available on any portion of MEP's System necessary to provide such service; (2) as to

which MEP does not have the operational capability to effect receipt, transportation

and/or delivery on a firm basis consistent with the terms and conditions of this Rate

Schedule FTS; (3) which would require the construction, modification, expansion, or

acquisition of any facilities; provided, however, that MEP may agree on a basis not

unduly discriminatory to construct, modify, expand, or acquire facilities to enable it to

perform such services; (4) unless and until Shipper has provided MEP with the

information required in Section 3.2 hereof; (5) if MEP determines, based on the credit

analysis referenced in Section 3.2(f), that Shipper does not possess sufficient financial

stability to make it reasonably likely the service provided hereunder will be paid for on a

timely basis; (6) if the service requested would not comply with this Rate Schedule FTS;

or (7) if the service requested is at less than the applicable maximum rate; provided,

however, that MEP may agree to provide service hereunder at a discount or at a

Negotiated Rate or under a Negotiated Rate Formula, consistent with this Rate Schedule

FTS and the applicable General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff. Nothing herein is

intended to govern the scheduling or curtailment of service once a request for service has

been granted pursuant to this Section and while an FTS Agreement is in effect. Such

scheduling and/or curtailment are governed by the General Terms and Conditions of this

Tariff.

(b) Any request must be complete and comply with this Rate Schedule

FTS. MEP shall promptly notify Shipper if it cannot satisfy an otherwise valid request,

in whole or in part, due to lack of capacity or System capability or if the request is

incomplete or does not comply with this Rate Schedule FTS. If a request is not

complete, MEP shall inform Shipper in writing of the specific items needed to complete






RATE SCHEDULE FTS

waive this time period if the delay is not unreasonable. MEP will post on the

Informational Posting portion of its Interactive Website if it declines to waive this time

period.

3.2 Requests for service hereunder shall be deemed valid only after the

information specified in this Section is provided by Shipper via MEP's Interactive

Website or in writing to MEP's Gas Transportation Department, at 1001 Louisiana

Street, Suite 1000, Houston, Texas 77002, or Telecopy Number (713) 369-9305. The

(a) GAS QUANTITIES

The request shall specify in Dth the MDQ for the FTS Agreement

and the Point MDQ for each primary Receipt Point and Delivery Point under the FTS

Agreement, exclusive of applicable Fuel Gas and Unaccounted For Gas; provided,

however, that MEP shall not be obligated to accept requests for an MDQ of less than one

hundred (100) Dth per Day. A Shipper shall be entitled to transport, in addition to its

MDQ, a volume of Gas adequate to provide any applicable Fuel Gas and Unaccounted

For Gas, including any volumes required under the Leased Capacity Charges.

(b) RECEIPT POINT(S)

The request shall specify the primary point(s) at which Shipper

desires MEP to receive Gas and the Point MDQ for each such point, which specification

must be consistent with this Tariff.

6. QUANTITY

Each PALS Request Order shall specify in Dth the MAQ and a daily schedule of

the quantities (including the MDQ) to be parked and/or loaned under the specific

transaction. The daily schedule of returned volumes by the Shipper or MEP shall also

be specified in the PALS Request Order. The quantities may be specified as a range of

volumes (maximum and minimum aggregate and daily quantities and the related time

periods) to be parked and/or loaned and returned, and the schedule may include the

flexibility to do either a park or a loan within specified volume and time limits. The

schedule may provide for flexibility in total volumes and in the daily volumes parked

and/or loaned, in the timing of the park or the loan (or any portion thereof), in the

duration of the park and/or loan (or any portion thereof) and/or the timing of the

completion of the park or loan (or any portion thereof) by the return of gas to the

Shipper or to MEP, and shall specify the limits of the flexibility allowed. Subject to the

flexibility specified in the PALS Request Order, the MDQ RO shall be the maximum

quantity MEP is obligated, on an interruptible basis, to receive from or deliver to

Shipper under the PALS Request Order on the specified day. The MAQ RO shall be

the maximum aggregate quantity MEP is obligated to hold or loan for the account of

Shipper under the RO. The minimum aggregate and daily volumes to be parked and/or

loaned and returned on an interruptible basis shall also be specified in the PALS

Request Order. The sum total of a Shipper's MAQ ROs and MDQ ROs shall not exceed

the MAQ and MDQ specified in the PALS Agreement. If a Shipper exceeds the MDQ

or MAQ in the PALS Agreement or fails to comply with any quantity or timing

parameter in the applicable PALS Request Order (unless such failure is due to MEP not

confirming a nomination properly submitted), it shall be subject to overrun charges.

7. PALS POINTS OF SERVICE

Subject to the scheduling and curtailment priorities contained in the General

Terms and Conditions of this Tariff, MEP will render service under this Rate Schedule at

any Point(s) mutually agreeable to MEP and Shipper, including Pooling Points; provided,

however, that service under Rate Schedule PALS is not available for Points on Leased

Capacity. The Point(s) actually used in any park or loan service will be specified in a

PALS Request Order. Gas parked or loaned at any point must be returned at the same

Point unless the parties mutually agree on a different Point for the return and Shipper

arranges for any transportation required to the different Point of return.

8. NOMINATIONS

It shall be solely Shipper's responsibility to provide MEP with daily nominations

of the quantity of gas to be received or delivered at the Receipt or Delivery point(s) within

the parameters specified in the applicable PALS Request Order. Nominations for any day

or for any nomination cycle must be consistent with the PALS Request Order. It shall

also be Shipper's responsibility to cause gas to be delivered to MEP and to cause gas to be

received from MEP in accordance with the PALS Request Order. Nominations shall be

subject to confirmation and scheduling in accordance with the General Terms and

Conditions of this Tariff. If a nomination to reverse a park or loan is consistent with the

PALS Request Order but cannot be confirmed by MEP, the Shipper must continue to

nominate on subsequent days until MEP can confirm the nomination, unless the parties

agree on a revised PALS Request Order. Differences between confirmed nominations and

allocated volumes are subject to Balancing Service Charges under Section 10.8 of the

General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff. Overrun charges apply as specified in

Section 9.2 of the General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff.

11. OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF MEP

For purposes of this Section 11, the following Average Weekly Index Prices shall

be utilized in resolving any outstanding parked or borrowed quantities, as set forth below,

on MEP’s system:

(i) The AWIP as calculated above for Columbia Gulf Mainline shall apply to

Zone 1;

(ii) The AWIP as calculated above for Transco Zone 4 shall apply to Zone 2.

(a) Shipper may be required, upon notification from MEP, to cease or

reduce deliveries to, or receipts from, MEP hereunder within the Day consistent with

MEP's operating requirements. Further, Shipper may be required to return all or a portion

of borrowed quantities or remove all or a portion of parked quantities upon notification by

MEP. Such notification may be by written communication, facsimile, telephone or

electronic means. MEP's notification shall specify the time frame within which parked

quantities shall be removed and/or borrowed quantities shall be returned, consistent with

MEP's operating conditions and subject to the scheduling and confirmation of such

volumes, but in no event shall the specified time be sooner than the next calendar day

after MEP's notification.

(1) In the event that the specified time frame for removal or

return of gas quantities is the next calendar day, the time frame for required removal or

return shall begin from the time that Shipper receives actual notice from MEP. Notices

provided after business hours for the next calendar day will be provided to Shipper via

telephone and electronic means. In the event that Shipper makes a timely nomination in

response to notification by MEP to remove parked quantities and/or return borrowed

quantities, the obligation of Shipper to comply with the notification shall begin when

MEP schedules the nomination; provided, however, Shipper shall exercise best efforts to

nominate transportation service on a firm or interruptible basis, as necessary, to receipt

and delivery points made available by MEP so as to accommodate, to the greatest extent

possible MEP's notification to remove parked quantities and/or return borrowed

quantities.

(2) Unless otherwise agreed by Shipper and MEP on a not

unduly discriminatory basis:

(i) any parked quantity not removed within the time

frame specified by MEP's notice shall be purchased by MEP at 50% of the applicable

Average Weekly Index Prices (AWIP) that includes the date upon which MEP's notice was

given;






RATE SCHEDULE PALS

(ii) any borrowed quantity not returned within the time frame

specified by MEP's notice shall be sold to Shipper at 150% of the applicable AWIPs that

includes the date upon which MEP's notice was given.

(b) In the event parked quantities remain in MEP's system and/or borrowed

quantities have not been returned to MEP's system at the expiration of any PALS Request

Order executed by Shipper and MEP, MEP and Shipper may negotiate to mutually agree to

an extended time frame and/or modified terms, including the rate, of such PALS Request

Order. In the event that Shipper and MEP are unable to come to such agreement, MEP

shall notify Shipper and Shipper shall remove the parked quantities and/or return the

borrowed quantities within the time frame specified in MEP's notice, which in no instance

shall be less than one (1) calendar day. During a Critical Time, any parked quantities not

removed within the time frame specified by MEP's notice shall be purchased by MEP at

50% of the applicable AWIP that includes the date upon which MEP's notice was given.

If, however, Shipper is unable to nominate quantities under the PALS Rate Schedule to

remove such parked quantities due to an interruption on MEP's system, MEP shall waive

the penalty (i.e., purchase of gas at 50% of the applicable AWIP that includes the date

upon which MEP's notice was given) for a term equal to the greater of: (i) five (5)

business days; or (ii) the duration of the interruption. Any borrowed quantities not

returned within the time frame specified by MEP's notice shall be sold to Shipper at 150%

of the applicable AWIP that includes the date upon which MEP's notice was given.

During a non-Critical Time, any parked quantities not removed within the

time frame specified by MEP's notice shall be purchased at 65% of the applicable AWIP.

If, however, Shipper is unable to nominate quantities under the PALS Rate Schedule to

remove such parked quantities due to an interruption on MEP's system, MEP shall waive

the penalty (i.e., purchase of gas at 65% of the applicable AWIP that includes the date

upon which MEP's notice was given) for a term equal to the greater of: (i) five (5)

business days; or (ii) the duration of the interruption. Any borrowed quantities not

returned within the time frame specified by MEP's notice shall be sold to Shipper at 135%

of the applicable AWIP that includes the date upon which MEP's notice was given.

INTERRUPTIBLE BALANCING SERVICE

1. AVAILABILITY

(a) This Rate Schedule IBS is available to any entity (hereinafter called

Shipper) which: (i) submits to Midcontinent Express Pipeline LLC (hereinafter called

MEP) a valid request as defined in Section 3 hereof; (ii) executes an Interruptible

Balancing Service Agreement (IBS Agreement) with MEP applicable to service under this

Rate Schedule IBS; and (iii) meets the qualifications set out in subsection (b) of this

Section.

(b) To be eligible for service under this Rate Schedule IBS, the Shipper must

identify the service under its IBS Agreement as being for one specified end-use facility

for each IBS Agreement; except that more than one facility may be specified to the extent

limited aggregation of end-use facilities and points is permitted under Section 7(c) of this

Rate Schedule IBS. Such end-use facilities need not be directly connected to MEP's

system, but the conditions specified in Section 3.2(c) of this Rate Schedule IBS must be

met. To be eligible for service hereunder, the Shipper must have and maintain in effect an

FTS or ITS Agreement to which the IBS Agreement is linked, consistent with Section

3.2(a) of this Rate Schedule IBS. The IBS Agreement must also specify a single Delivery

Point for each end-use facility; provided, however, that limited aggregation of end-use

facilities and points is permitted under Section 7(c) of this Rate Schedule IBS. The

Delivery Point may be any primary or secondary Delivery Point available under the linked

transportation Agreement except for any Point on Leased Capacity; provided that the

Delivery Point must be consistent with the location of the end-use facility. An IBS

Agreement may only be linked to one transportation Agreement. A transportation

Agreement may have more than one IBS Agreement linked to it, provided that the other

requirements of this Rate Schedule IBS are satisfied.

(c) The form of the IBS Agreement is contained in this Tariff. There is no

limitation on the number of IBS Agreements any one Shipper may have.

RATE SCHEDULE IBS


(a) This Rate Schedule IBS defines an interruptible imbalance management

service for specified end-use facilities. Service hereunder shall be provided pursuant to

Access Requests under Section 6 of this Rate Schedule IBS. This Rate Schedule shall

apply to all imbalance management services provided by MEP for Shipper pursuant to an

IBS Agreement. This service will be provided based on: System operational capability on

MEP; resources provided by Third Party Balancing Agreements; and/or offsetting Access

Requests under Section 6 of this Rate Schedule IBS. MEP is not providing a supply or

storage service under this Rate Schedule IBS.

(b) This service is designed to help a Shipper accommodate differences between

nominations and physical gas flows to specified end-use facilities under the FTS or ITS

Agreement to which the IBS Agreement is linked consistent with Section 3.2(a) of this

Rate Schedule IBS.

(c) MEP shall not be required: (1) to provide service hereunder in excess of the

maximum daily access volume under the IBS Agreement as determined under Section

6(a) hereof or in excess of the maximum allowable cumulative IBS Balance as determined

under Section 6(f) hereof; (2) to provide service hereunder on any day in excess of the

MDQ of the IBS Agreement, reduced in the case of a swing up by the volumes nominated

under the linked transportation Agreement for that day (and further reduced by releases of

the linked transportation Agreement where applicable); or (3) to provide service

hereunder which is not consistent with a confirmed Access Request pursuant to Section 6

of this Rate Schedule IBS.

(d) The service provided under this Rate Schedule IBS shall be performed

under Part 284 of the Commission's Regulations. Shipper shall only request service under

this Rate Schedule IBS to the extent such service would qualify under the applicable

statutes, regulations, Commission orders and the blanket certificate authorizing service by

MEP under this Rate Schedule. For service under Subpart B of Part 284 of the

Commission's Regulations, Shipper shall provide to MEP appropriate certification,

including sufficient information in order for MEP to verify that the service qualifies under

Subpart B of Part 284 of the Regulations. Where required by the Commission's

Regulations, Shipper shall (prior to tendering gas under an IBS Agreement) cause the

intrastate pipeline or local distribution company on whose behalf the service will be

provided to submit the necessary certification.

(e) Service hereunder is provided on an interruptible basis. Priorities of

service for the purposes of scheduling and curtailment are governed by the General Terms

and Conditions of this Tariff. MEP will only provide service hereunder if the standard set

out in Section 6(b) hereof is met.

3. VALID REQUESTS

3.1 A request for service under this Rate Schedule IBS shall be valid as of the

date received if it complies with this Section and contains adequate information on all of

the items specified in Section 3.2, subject to any necessary verification of such



any such request: (i) which would require the construction, modification, expansion, or

acquisition of any facilities; provided, however, that MEP may agree in its reasonable

discretion to construct, modify, expand, or acquire facilities to enable it to perform such

services: (ii) unless and until Shipper has provided MEP with the information required in

Section 3.2 hereof; (iii) if MEP determines, based on the credit analysis referenced in

Section 3.2(e) hereof, that Shipper lacks the financial stability to make it reasonably likely

the service provided hereunder will be paid for on a timely basis; (iv) if the service

requested would not comply with this Rate Schedule IBS; or (v) if the service requested is

at less than the applicable maximum rate; provided, however, that MEP may agree to

provide service hereunder at a discount consistent with this Rate Schedule IBS. Nothing

herein is intended to govern the scheduling and curtailment of service once a request for

service has been granted pursuant to this Section and while an IBS Agreement is in effect.

Such matters are governed by Section 6(b) of this Rate Schedule IBS and the General

Terms and Conditions of this Tariff.


IBS. MEP shall promptly notify Shipper if it cannot satisfy an otherwise valid request, in

whole or in part, due to any of the reasons set out in Section 3.1(a) or if the request is

incomplete or does not comply with this Rate Schedule IBS. If a request is not complete,

MEP shall inform Shipper in writing of the specific items needed to complete the IBS

Agreement, after which Shipper shall have fifteen (15) days to provide the specified

information. In the event such information is not received by MEP within fifteen (15)

days, Shipper's request shall be null and void.






RATE SCHEDULE IBS

(c) MEP shall tender an IBS Agreement to Shipper for execution when

Shipper's request for service is accepted. Unless waived by MEP, a request for service

shall be invalid if Shipper fails to execute an IBS Agreement hereunder within ten (10)

days after an IBS Agreement which accurately reflects the requested service has been

tendered by MEP for execution; provided, however, that MEP shall waive this time

requirement if this delay is not unreasonable. MEP will post on the Informational Posting

portion of its Interactive Website if it declines to waive the time requirement.


following information is provided by Shipper via MEP's Interactive Website or in writing

to MEP's Gas Transportation Department at 1001 Louisiana Street, Suite 1000, Houston,

Texas 77002, or Telecopy Number (713) 369-9305:

(a) LINKED TRANSPORTATION AGREEMENT

Shipper shall identify in its request an FTS or ITS Agreement to

which service hereunder will be linked. Such linkage must be consistent with this Rate

Schedule IBS. The balancing service hereunder shall relate to the volumes delivered to the

Delivery Point(s) on behalf of the end-use facility or facilities under the linked

transportation Agreement. The effectiveness of the IBS Agreement is contingent upon

Shipper having and continuing in effect the linked FTS or ITS Agreement, unless the

parties agree on a substitute linked transportation Agreement. The linked transportation

Agreement may be a released transportation Agreement but the Replacement Shipper must

enter into a separate IBS Agreement; it cannot rely on the IBS Agreement of the Releasing

Shipper. Service hereunder is not available at any Point on Leased Capacity.

(b) CONTRACT QUANTITY

The request must specify the MDQ under the IBS Agreement. The

MDQ of the IBS Agreement may be equal to or less than the MDQ of the linked

transportation Agreement. If the transportation Agreement is linked to more than one IBS

Agreement, then the sum of the MDQs under IBS Agreements served by that linked

transportation Agreement must be equal to or less than the transportation contract MDQ.

The MDQ under an IBS Agreement must also be consistent with the Point MDQ under


FERC Gas Tariff




RATE SCHEDULE IBS

the linked transportation Agreement and with the actual or reasonably projected usage

served by MEP at the end-use facility or facilities. The MDQ may be redetermined at the

request of either Shipper or MEP at any time by mutual agreement. In submitting

nominations under the linked transportation Agreement, Shipper must separately identify

the volumes attributed to the end-use facility or facilities covered by the IBS Agreement.

(c) END-USE FACILITY

Shipper shall specify the end-use facility or facilities for which

imbalance management service is to be provided under the IBS Agreement. The IBS

Agreement shall cover a single end-use facility except to the extent aggregation is

permitted under Section 7(c) of this Rate Schedule IBS. Shipper shall also specify the

Delivery Point for each such end-use facility. That Delivery Point must also be a point of

delivery (either primary or secondary) available under the linked transportation Agreement.

The location of such Delivery Point(s) must be consistent with the location of the end-use

facility or facilities.

(1) The request shall contain a statement either: (i) that the

service under the IBS Agreement will be used for the end-use facility or facilities identified

in the request directly connected to MEP's system; or (ii) that service under the IBS

Agreement will be used for the end-use facility or facilities identified in the request behind

a Delivery Point or Points and the requirements of Subsection (2) herein below are or will

be met. If not directly connected to MEP, the end-use facility or facilities must be directly

connected to facilities of the point operator which are interconnected with MEP's system.


FERC Gas Tariff




RATE SCHEDULE IBS

(2) Where an end-use facility is not directly connected to

MEP's system, a separate IBS Monitoring Agreement must be agreed upon and executed

among MEP, the Shipper, the operator of the end-use facility and the point operator and/or

operator of interconnecting facilities. The IBS Monitoring Agreement must provide that (i)

a designated entity (which may be the point operator at the Delivery Point under the IBS

Agreement or other similar entity) will monitor the use of the service to assure that service

is being provided hereunder to the end-use facility or facilities consistent with Rate

Schedule IBS; and (ii) during periods when deliveries to the end-use facility are from more

than one source, gas from MEP is deemed the first gas delivered to and used by the end-use

facility unless another allocation is set out in the IBS Monitoring Agreement or is

otherwise agreed upon by the parties. MEP will provide to the point operator or other

monitoring entity relevant flow and nomination information related to the IBS Agreement.

Service hereunder for any end-use facility not directly connected to MEP shall be

contingent upon satisfaction on a continuing basis of these requirements.

(3) MEP may require that electronic measurement equipment

be in place and the information accessible to MEP such that real time data on deliveries to

the end-use facility or facilities or a reasonable substitute are available to MEP.

terminate upon termination or expiration, and (in the case of a linked FTS Agreement)

will be suspended upon release (if the release is partial, the suspension will be partial

corresponding to the partial nature of the release), of the FTS or ITS Agreement to

which the IBS Agreement is linked unless the parties mutually agree to substitute a new

linked transportation Agreement. Where any specified end-use facility is not directly

connected to MEP's system, the IBS Agreement will not apply to that end-use facility

unless an IBS Monitoring Agreement covering that end-use facility is in effect.

(b) Upon termination or expiration of any IBS Agreement, service by MEP to

Shipper thereunder shall cease and shall be automatically abandoned unless extended

pursuant to the rollover provisions in Section 16 of the General Terms and Conditions.

(b) The Access Charge shall be the sum for the billing month of the then

effective applicable daily Access Rate under the IBS Agreement multiplied each day by

the absolute values of confirmed daily Access Requests for that Agreement to which that

rate applies (Access Requests for swing up are not netted against Access Requests to

swing down). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Access Charge for any day shall be

reduced to the extent that MEP curtails or interrupts service under Rate Schedule IBS that

day, with the reduction to be calculated by multiplying the applicable daily Access Rate

times that portion of the confirmed Access Request which is adversely affected by the

curtailment or interruption. The maximum monthly Access Charge shall be the sum for

that billing month of the applicable maximum unit daily Access Rate set out in this Tariff

multiplied each day by the absolute values of confirmed daily Access Requests under the

IBS Agreement to which that rate applies. The Access Charge payable by Shipper shall

be the applicable maximum Access Charge unless a lower Access Charge is specified in

the IBS Agreement or a separate discount agreement is assessed under Section 5.5 of this

Rate Schedule IBS, which lower charge must be consistent with the minimum rate

specified in this Tariff. By mutual agreement between MEP and Shipper which is

subject to any contrary provision of the IBS Agreement or a separate discount agreement or

Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula agreement, be increased to the highest such

rate. Should additional documentation be required in order for MEP to collect such highest

rate, Shipper shall execute or provide such documentation within fifteen (15) days after a

written request by MEP. If, at any time and from time to time, the Commission or any

other governmental authority having jurisdiction in the premises requires MEP to charge a

lower rate for balancing service hereunder, the rate shall be decreased to such reduced rate.

Day under the linked transportation Agreement (maximum daily access volume). If

Shipper has released any part of a linked firm transportation Agreement, such release(s)

shall be taken into account in determining the level of service available under the IBS

Agreement if the release(s) reduce the effective MDQ available to Shipper for nomination

under the linked transportation Agreement to the designated Delivery Point(s) below the

MDQ under the IBS Agreement. Except for authorized overrun, an Access Request for a

swing up may not exceed the unnominated portion of the MDQ under the linked

transportation Agreement (reduced as applicable by any releases).

(1) The Access Request, which shall constitute Shipper's nomination

under the IBS Agreement, shall specify the volume and direction of the balancing service

and must reference the specific IBS Agreement, end-use facility or facilities and Delivery

Point(s) to which the service relates.

(2) For a Shipper to request service hereunder, that Shipper must have

in effect a linked FTS or ITS Agreement consistent with Section 3.2(a) of this Rate

Schedule IBS. The Access Request must reference the linked transportation Agreement.

(3) Intraday Access Requests may be submitted hereunder which

increase the level of service requested. Such increased intraday Access Requests may be

submitted on the same schedule as other intraday nominations.


FERC Gas Tariff




RATE SCHEDULE IBS

(4) MEP will post for each Day, at least two (2) hours before

nominations are due for that Day, whether service under Rate Schedule IBS is likely to be

available on the System, or on any portion of the System.

(b) MEP shall confirm Access Requests made under an IBS Agreement which

otherwise are consistent with this Rate Schedule IBS if, in MEP's reasonable judgment,

MEP has the System operational capability or other resources, such as Third Party

Balancing Agreements, to provide such service, without detriment to satisfaction of MEP's

firm obligations or of any interruptible obligations which may be of higher priority or to

MEP's System operational needs, it being understood that MEP is not providing a supply or

storage service under this Rate Schedule IBS. MEP will not confirm any Access Request if

granting such a request would be detrimental to MEP's ability to provide any firm service.

MEP will also not grant any Access Request if doing so would materially increase the

likelihood that MEP would declare a Critical Time or issue an Operational Flow Order

affecting services identified in the prior sentence.

(1) MEP will attempt to offset Access Requests hereunder in one

direction with Access Requests in the opposite direction, but MEP will only do so if the

general standards of this subsection (b) can be met and MEP will not confirm Access

Requests if the impact is detrimental to MEP's system.

(2) A confirmed Access Request shall be deemed authorization, up to

the volume specified in the Access Request, for MEP to provide imbalance management

service hereunder related to the linked transportation Agreement without further notice.

Shipper shall not, however, be obligated to use such balancing volumes; i.e., Access

Requests are used to define the level of balancing service available to the Shipper that day

to cover IBS Balance volumes allocated under subparagraph (b)(3). This service is subject

to the curtailment provisions of the General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff.


FERC Gas Tariff




RATE SCHEDULE IBS

(3) MEP shall account separately under each IBS Agreement for all

nominations to each specified end-use facility and for volumes actually utilized at each

end-use facility; provided, however, that to the extent aggregation is permitted under

Section 7(c) hereof, MEP shall account for all aggregated facilities on an aggregated basis.

Any difference on any Day between nominations and physical gas flow under the linked

FTS or ITS Agreement to the specified end-use facility or facilities in the direction of

swing specified in the Access Request for that Day shall be allocated to the IBS Agreement

unless otherwise expressly agreed. The resulting volume, which may be positive or

negative, is the IBS Balance. Such differences in the opposite direction from the Access

Request shall be allocated to the linked transportation Agreement or to other services

contracted by Shipper pursuant to a predetermined allocation Agreement. Service

hereunder allows Shipper to have daily imbalances or variances within the level of the

confirmed Access Request. Volumes allocated to the IBS Agreement hereunder shall be

treated as unauthorized overrun if the resulting IBS Balance is not within the volume level

consistent with Shipper's confirmed Access Request under this Section 6. Volumes

allocated to the IBS Agreement hereunder in excess of the maximum daily access volume

or the maximum allowable cumulative IBS Balance which are consistent with the

confirmed Access Request shall be authorized overrun under Section 8 of this Rate

Schedule IBS.

(c) MEP shall provide to Shipper its best information on the IBS Balances

under an IBS Agreement by at least one half hour prior to the time timely nominations are

due for the next Gas Day. MEP shall identify both the IBS Balance for the Day and the

cumulative IBS Balance. In the event that an allocation under Section 6(b) results in

Shipper having a positive or negative IBS Balance, then unless otherwise agreed, Shipper

shall be obligated to make a timely IBS Payback nomination under the linked

transportation Agreement based on such timely information provided by MEP in the next

daily nomination cycle up to its MDQ under the linked transportation Agreement to bring

its IBS Balance for a day to zero (IBS Payback nomination). Such IBS Payback

nominations may also be made at the time intraday nominations are due under the next

Daily nomination cycle. MEP may adjust such IBS Balance information in future periods

and Shipper's future payback obligations shall be adjusted accordingly, but Shipper may

rely on any information provided by MEP in making IBS Payback nominations.


FERC Gas Tariff




RATE SCHEDULE IBS

The IBS Payback nomination shall be separately identified and shall be a volume which is

in excess of Shipper's projected requirements for that day at the relevant end-use facility or

facilities. The IBS Payback nomination may represent (in whole or in part) overrun under

the linked transportation Agreement, in which case the overrun shall be evaluated by MEP

for scheduling purposes on the same basis as other overrun requests. Unless otherwise

agreed, IBS Payback volumes nominated and confirmed shall be accounted for as the first

gas through the meter on deliveries.

(1) IBS Payback nominations must reference the IBS Agreement. IBS

Payback must be made to deliver gas to or take gas away from Delivery Points, as

applicable, under the linked transportation Agreement, or at other mutually agreed points if

delivery to those points would be beneficial to MEP's system, to achieve IBS Payback in

relation to the Delivery Point(s). IBS Payback nominations shall be evaluated for

scheduling and curtailment priority purposes on the same basis as other nominations under

the linked transportation Agreement or at the mutually agreed points. Transportation

charges shall be assessed under the linked transportation Agreement only if movement of

the gas to the Delivery Point(s) has not previously been subject to a transportation charge,

consistent with Section 5.3 of this Rate Schedule IBS.

(2) MEP has the right to delay or limit IBS Payback. To the extent

MEP does not confirm an IBS Payback nomination, or the nomination is limited by rights

under the IBS Agreement and/or linked transportation Agreement(s), as applicable, Shipper

shall be obligated to make a timely IBS Payback nomination in each subsequent daily

nomination period until the IBS Balance for that day has been eliminated; provided,

however, that if MEP advises Shipper that no IBS Payback nominations will be accepted

until a specified future date or will be limited in a specified way over a defined period, or

as otherwise agreed, Shipper may forego or limit its IBS Payback nomination accordingly.

(d) If Shipper fails to make a timely and valid IBS Payback nomination to

reduce its IBS Balance for a Day as required under this Section 6, then the Balancing

Service Charges in Section 10.8 of the General Terms and Conditions of the Tariff shall

apply, with no tolerance or exemption, based on the IBS Balance information provided to

Shipper by MEP. Such charges will continue as applied to the remaining volume of the

IBS Balance for that Day until valid IBS Payback nominations adequate to eliminate


FERC Gas Tariff




RATE SCHEDULE IBS

the IBS Balance have been submitted under this Section 6. Such Balancing Service

Charges shall also apply, with no tolerance or exemption, to the extent Shipper makes a

timely and valid IBS Payback nomination which is confirmed by MEP, but IBS Payback is

not actually effectuated by Shipper. The phrase "with no tolerance or exemption" as used

herein shall mean the following: under Section 10.8(a)(1) of the General Terms and

Conditions of this Tariff, the 0% to 5% tier does not apply and the lowest charge

($0.10/Dth) applies to variance between 0% and 10%; under Section 10.8(b) of the General

Terms and Conditions of this Tariff, the 0% to 3% tier does not apply and the lowest

charge (greater of $1.00 or 50% of DIP) applies to variances between 0% and 10%; and

under Section 10.8(c) of the General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff, the 0% to 3% tier

does not apply and the lowest charge (greater of $4.00 or 2 X DIP) applies to variances

between 0% and 10%. Each Day for which an IBS Balance accrues is accounted for

separately for purposes of applying Balancing Service Charges and the other provision of

this Section 6. IBS Payback nominations shall apply first to the oldest Day's IBS Balance.

No Balancing Service Charges shall apply for any Day, however, if Shipper makes a valid,

timely and adequate IBS Payback nomination for that day within the limit specified in

subsection (c) above, but that IBS Payback nomination is not confirmed by MEP for

reasons other than that the nomination was not proper. Intraday IBS Payback nominations

will not avoid Balancing Service Charges as to volumes not timely nominated unless

confirmed by MEP and unless adequate under (c) above.

(e) A Shipper which is submitting an IBS Payback nomination for any Day

may, also on that Day, submit an Access Request for additional service under this Rate

Schedule IBS. Subject to the Balancing Service Charges and the restrictions in subsection

(f) below, such Access Requests will be processed under and are subject to the same

requirements and limitations as are imposed on all Access Requests by Sections 6(a) and

6(b) of this Rate Schedule IBS.

(f) The cumulative IBS Balance under an IBS Agreement may not exceed two

(2) times Shipper's MDQ, absent agreement by MEP.

(g) Cashout provisions of the Tariff shall only apply to IBS Balances to the

extent provided in Section 7(b) of this Rate Schedule. All IBS Balances must be zeroed out

through the Access Request and IBS Payback nomination process in this Section 6, except

as otherwise provided in Section 7(b) of this Rate Schedule.

7. UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM ARRANGEMENTS, END-OF-TERM

IMBALANCE AND AGGREGATION

(a) Shipper shall make all necessary arrangements with other parties at or

downstream of the Delivery Points under the IBS Agreement. Such arrangements must

be consistent with this Rate Schedule IBS and the linked FTS or ITS Agreement and

must be coordinated with MEP.

(b) Shipper must have a zero IBS Balance at the end of the term of the IBS

Agreement. If an IBS Balance remains at the end of the term, the remaining volumes

shall be cashed out as set out at Section 10.4 of the General Terms and Conditions of this

Tariff. Shipper and MEP may also mutually agree to cashout an IBS Balance at the end

of any month under an IBS Agreement consistent with said Section 10.4.

(c) Except with prior agreement by MEP on a case-by-case basis, an IBS

Agreement may cover only a single end-use facility and a single related Delivery Point.

(1) MEP will agree to limited aggregation of end-use facilities and

Delivery Points under a single IBS Agreement pursuant to this subsection (c) if the

following criteria are met:

(i) all the end-use facilities must have the same owner or

operator (or a common agent consistent with this provision);

(ii) all the end-use facilities must be of the same type;

(iii) it must be operationally feasible for MEP to provide service

on an aggregated basis to all such end-use facilities and points consistent with this Rate

Schedule IBS; and

(iv) the number of end-use facilities to be aggregated may not

exceed five (5) and the number of related points to be aggregated may also not exceed

five (5).


FERC Gas Tariff




RATE SCHEDULE IBS

(2) MEP will allow such aggregation with a common agent for the

end-use facilities, provided that the other requirements of aggregation are satisfied. Such

an agency relationship would be subject to satisfaction of the conditions set out in Section

6.8 of the General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff and the following more specific

conditions: the agent must meet the same creditworthiness standards as a Shipper, MEP

can rely upon representations by the agent until MEP receives written notice that the

agency relationship has been terminated and aggregation will cease to be effective as of the

date on which there is no longer a common agent.

(3) If the above criteria are met, MEP will permit the aggregation

under a single IBS Agreement of up to five (5) end-use facilities at the same or different

Points. The aggregated end-use facilities shall be accounted for in the aggregate, by use of

a paper point. A Shipper may not aggregate in a single IBS Agreement both directly

connected end-use facilities and end-use facilities which are not directly connected to

MEP.

8. OVERRUN SERVICE

Upon request of Shipper, MEP may (but is not obligated to) provide service

hereunder in excess of Shipper's maximum daily access volume under the IBS Agreement

as determined under Section 6(a) hereof or Shipper's maximum allowed cumulative IBS

Balance as determined under Section 6(e) hereof, in MEP's reasonable judgment, its

System operational capability, other resources such as Third Party Balancing Agreements,

or offsetting Access Requests will permit such balancing receipt or delivery without

impairing the ability of MEP to meet its firm or other higher priority interruptible

obligations, it being understood that MEP is not providing a supply or storage service

under this Rate Schedule IBS. In granting requests for authorized overruns, MEP shall act

in a manner consistent with the overrun service priorities set out in the General Terms and

Conditions of this Tariff. Except for authorized overruns as reflected in confirmation of

an Access Request, for which Shipper shall pay the applicable rate set out in the rate

sheets of this Tariff, Shipper shall pay MEP the charges for unauthorized overrun set out

in Section 9.2 of the General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff if balancing volumes in

the direction of swing specified in the Access Request under an IBS Agreement exceed

the volumes specified in the Access Request or, unless consistent with the Access

Request, exceed the maximum daily access volumes under such IBS Agreement or the

maximum allowed cumulative IBS Balance. MEP may waive or discount either

authorized overrun or unauthorized gas charges on a basis which is not unduly

discriminatory. With respect to authorized overrun charges associated with exceeding the

allowed cumulative IBS Balance, it will be MEP's general policy to waive such charges if

the charge results from MEP's decision not to accept IBS Payback and if maintaining the

IBS Balance is beneficial to MEP's system.

mutually agreed, mean the payment made to MEP for the installation of new or expanded

facilities at interconnection points for the receipt by MEP or the delivery by MEP of gas on

behalf of Shipper. Unless otherwise agreed, the CIAC shall include all construction costs,

including any filing fee (Investment Costs), on a mutually agreed payment schedule. In

addition, if applicable, Shipper shall provide a reimbursement amount to compensate for

income tax effects associated with such facilities (Tax Reimbursement). The Tax

Reimbursement, where applicable, shall be an amount to compensate for the income tax

effects of the CIAC, according to the following formula;

Tax Reimbursement = [tax rate x (Investment Cost - present value of tax

depreciation)] x [1 + {tax rate/(1 - tax rate)}]





Issued On: February 1, 2016 Effective On: April 1, 2016


1.10 DAILY INDEX PRICE OR DIP

"Daily Index Price" or "DIP" shall mean for any Day the volume

weighted average of the average prices published for such Day, using flow Day and

volume data as shown for the following indices:

Unaccounted For Gas and (b) adjusted for any variations in Btu content, as corrected for

any water vapor in excess of five (5) pounds per million (1,000,000) cubic feet of Gas, it

being the intent of the parties that the volumes of Gas delivered hereunder at the Delivery

Point after transportation be the thermal equivalent of the volumes of Gas delivered at the

Receipt Point for transportation, after reduction, correction and adjustment as provided

above. In determining Equivalent Volumes for redelivery, MEP shall formulate a thermal

balance evaluating inputs to, and deliveries from, the System at least once each Month.

Fuel Gas and Unaccounted For Gas shall be determined pursuant to Section 36 of these

General Terms and Conditions. Equivalent volumes shall be determined separately for

Leased Capacity by a corresponding calculation, reduced by Fuel Gas and Unaccounted

For Gas applicable to Leased Capacity.

2. PRIORITY OF SERVICE

2.1 ALLOCATION OF CAPACITY

(a) GENERAL

This Section 2.1 governs the allocation of firm capacity on MEP's

System among entities requesting firm services in assigning priority to otherwise valid

requests for any particular firm service. In applying such criteria where a Negotiated Rate

or Negotiated Rate Formula is involved, the value assigned to a request which includes a

Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula shall be limited by the Recourse Rate as

provided in Section 30 of these General Terms and Conditions. MEP shall not be required

to grant otherwise valid requests at less than the applicable maximum rate, but may do so

on a non-discriminatory basis.

(b) CAPACITY AWARD PROCEDURES

This Section 2.1(b), together with Sections 2.1(c) and 16 of these

General Terms and Conditions, sets out the procedures to be followed by MEP in

awarding all firm forward-haul transmission capacity becoming available on its System;

provided, however, that these procedures do not apply to the initial allocation of such firm

capacity created by the construction of new facilities (including the initial construction

and any extensions and expansions of MEP's System). The allocation of Preapproved

Capacity is subject to contractual provisions entered into with Foundation Shippers

pursuant to Section 2.7 of Rate Schedule FTS.

(1) INITIAL OPEN SEASON

MEP shall conduct an Initial Open Season for all firm

forward-haul transmission capacity becoming available on its System; provided, however,

that the Initial Open Season procedure shall not apply (and the capacity shall not be

considered as available or becoming available) where an existing Shipper has the right of

first refusal or other rollover right under Section 16 of these General Terms and

Conditions unless and until all such rollover rights have expired or, if the right of first


FERC Gas Tariff





refusal is exercised, the right of first refusal process has concluded and the capacity has not

been awarded; and provided further that the allocation of capacity shall be subject to

contractual provisions entered into with Foundation Shippers pursuant to Section 2.7 of

Rate Schedule FTS.

(i) An Initial Open Season shall be conducted so that

the open season would end at least two (2) Business Days before the date the firm capacity

becomes available. Such capacity may not be awarded, except as otherwise provided in this

Section 2.1 or Section 16 of these General Terms and Conditions, until after an Initial

Open Season has been conducted.

(ii) In any Initial Open Season, the minimum posting

and bidding period applicable to firm capacity available for less than one (1) Year is from

9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Central Clock Time on a Business Day and the minimum posting

and bidding period for firm capacity available for one (1) Year or longer is four (4)

Business Days, with the minimum posting periods each day being from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00

p.m. Central Clock Time.

(iii) The posting for an Initial Open Season shall include

the following items:

(A) The bidding procedure to be used, including

an explanation of how bids are to be submitted, a bid form, instructions for satisfying the

request criteria under the applicable rate schedule, and the complete bid evaluation criteria

consistent with this Section 2.1.

(B) The timetable for posting and bidding, which

timetable must be consistent with Section 2.1(b)(1)(ii).

(C) The location, duration and amount of firm

capacity to be covered by the Initial Open Season, and the date on which such firm

capacity will be available.

(D) Contingencies, if any, which will be

accepted in open season bids.

(E) Any other bid requirements, conditions,

criteria, restrictions or parameters.


FERC Gas Tariff





(iv) In the Initial Open Season, all bids must be submitted in the

basic rate design then in effect on MEP's system and are constrained by the applicable

maximum and minimum rates. No bid with rates in the form of a Negotiated Rate or

Negotiated Rate Formula will be valid in an Initial Open Season.

(v) MEP shall establish a reserve price or reserve price matrix

in every Initial Open Season, consistent with Section 2.1(c)(5) of these General Terms and

Conditions.

(vi) Unless otherwise specified in the posting, a bidder may bid

on all or any portion of the term for which the firm capacity is available and on all or any

portion of the capacity available. MEP shall make firm capacity available without any term

limit unless that firm capacity is committed at some future time under a then existing

contract or that firm capacity is operationally available only for a limited period of time.

Any term limit shall reflect such a contractual or operational constraint. MEP shall specify

any such term limit, and the reasons for the term limit, in the posting. MEP may only

impose minimum volume, geographical or term requirements on bids for operational

reasons, such as maintaining pressure or sustaining the minimum level of prudent facility

operations on any affected portion(s) of its System.

(vii) MEP shall have the right to terminate an Initial Open

Season through a termination posting if there is a material error in the Initial Open Season

posting, which error shall be explained in the termination posting. MEP shall have the right

to extend an Initial Open Season for good cause, as explained in the extension posting, or

as specified in the original Initial Open Season posting.


FERC Gas Tariff





(viii) All bids received during the open season period remain

binding on the bidder through the end of the open season unless withdrawn by bidder. At

the end of any open season, all bids either withdrawn or not accepted shall be deemed null

and void. A bidder may withdraw its bid at any time during the open season, utilizing the

same medium through which a bid can be submitted. A bidder which has withdrawn a bid

may submit a bid with a higher value during the open season, but neither that bidder nor

any of its affiliates may submit during that open season a bid with a lower value than the

withdrawn bid [value is to be determined applying the criteria in Section 2.1(c), consistent

with the posting for that open season], except if the withdrawn bid was withdrawn due to a

material error. A bidder may withdraw a bid for a material error by notifying MEP by the

deadline for bids that the bid contains a material error, which notification shall explain the

material error.

(ix) If an open season is extended, a bidder is free to submit a

new bid without restriction in the extended open season even if that bidder withdrew its bid

in the original open season. If a bidder withdraws its bid in an extended open season, the

same rules as in an original open season apply to that bidder.

(x) Once firm capacity has been subject to an Initial Open

Season, MEP is not required to hold any further Initial Open Season for that capacity (or

portion of such capacity) until that capacity (or a portion thereof) again becomes available

through the expiration of a contract covering any portion of such capacity entered into

under this Section 2.1(b) and any related rollover contract under Section 16 of these

General Terms and Conditions, in which case the capacity under such contract shall be

subject to an Initial Open Season.

(2) REQUEST PROCEDURE

For firm capacity which is not awarded in the Initial Open Season

process and for existing firm capacity which is not subject to the Initial Open Season

process or to Section 16 of these General Terms and Conditions, MEP may award such

capacity through either the Request Procedure in this Section 2.1(b)(2) or the Additional

Open Season Procedure in Section 2.1(b)(3) of these General Terms and Conditions.

Unsubscribed capacity may also be awarded pursuant to contractual provisions entered into

with Foundation Shippers pursuant to Section 2.7 of Rate Schedule FTS.


FERC Gas Tariff





(i) MEP may award such firm capacity in response to

request(s) for firm service in writing or on its Interactive Website which conform to the

requirements in the applicable rate schedule for valid requests (including meeting credit

criteria). A request may be unsolicited or pre-negotiated, but no communication will be

considered a request hereunder unless it constitutes a valid request for service consistent

with the applicable rate schedule and has been submitted in writing or via MEP's

Interactive Website.

(ii) A request for firm capacity will be binding on the entity

requesting firm capacity for two (2) Business Days or until the request is accepted or

rejected by MEP, whichever is earlier. MEP shall respond to any request for firm capacity

within two (2) Business Days. Unless granted by MEP, all requests submitted are void

effective the earlier of the time when MEP rejects the request or two (2) Business Days

after the request is submitted. MEP cannot grant any request which has become void, but a

request becoming void hereunder is without prejudice to any future request by that Shipper

or any other Shipper.

(iii) The rate form under a request may be either the basic rate

design then in effect on MEP's System or a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula

rate form.

(iv) MEP is not obligated to award firm capacity based on a

request at less than the applicable maximum rate, but any capacity award must be

consistent with Section 2.1(c) of these General Terms and Conditions if there are

competing valid requests pending. For purposes of applying the evaluation criteria in

Section 2.1(c) of these General Terms and Conditions, only pending valid requests which

have not become void under (ii) are considered to be competing.

(v) Requests shall not be accepted or valid as to any firm

capacity which is subject to an Initial Open Season or an Additional Open Season during

any period between the posting of that open season and the award of capacity (or the

decision not to award capacity) under that open season.

(3) ADDITIONAL OPEN SEASON PROCEDURE

(i) If available firm capacity has not been awarded in the Initial

Open Season, MEP may at any time elect to hold an Additional Open Season for that

capacity.


FERC Gas Tariff





(ii) The posting requirements and minimum posting and

bidding periods for an Additional Open Season shall be the same as for an Initial Open

Season under Section 2.1(b)(1), except that MEP will post any additional items necessary

to comply with this Section 2.1(b)(3).

(iii) In the Additional Open Season, MEP may limit the firm

capacity available to that defined in the posting and may make such defined firm capacity

available only for a specified term or range of terms, which limitation(s) must be included

in the posting.

(iv) In the Additional Open Season, bids may be on a

Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula basis to the extent specified in the posting.

MEP may limit the form of Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula submitted, in

which case that limitation must be reflected in the posting. Bids may always be submitted

in the basic rate design then in effect on MEP's System at the applicable maximum rate.

(v) MEP may, but is not required to, establish a reserve price or

reserve price matrix in an Additional Open Season, consistent with Section 2.1(c)(5) of

these General Terms and Conditions.

(4) SPREADSHEETS

Contemporaneous with posting of an open season, MEP shall make

available (subject to reasonable user requirements) electronic spreadsheets setting out the

analyses which will be used to determine the winning bid(s), in a format which will allow

the user to calculate net present value.

(5) CONDITIONS ON REQUESTS AND BIDS

This subsection sets out conditions applicable to all requests and

bids for firm capacity. MEP shall reject any request or bid for service which may

detrimentally impact the operational integrity of MEP's System (if MEP rejects a bid or

request on this basis, it will provide a written explanation of the operational basis for this

action); which does not satisfy all the terms of an applicable posting or tariff provision

and/or does not provide all the information required by the posting or tariff provision;


FERC Gas Tariff





which contains terms and conditions other than those in MEP's Tariff and/or any applicable

posting; which would not constitute a valid request under the applicable rate schedule (it

being understood that a bid in an open season cannot be rejected for incompleteness if all

information required by the bid form and applicable posting has been provided); or is in

any way inconsistent with MEP's Tariff and/or any applicable posting. Any Shipper

wishing to bid in an open season or submit a request for capacity must satisfy the

creditworthiness requirements in Section 12 of these General Terms and Conditions prior

to submitting a bid or request. A Shipper cannot bid for or request services which exceed

its pre-qualified level of creditworthiness. MEP shall process - and encourages -

applications from potential bidders or requesters seeking prequalification for bids or

requests they may make in the future. Credit applications shall be completed in full with all

information required to establish creditworthiness under the credit criteria included in

MEP's rate schedule covering the applicable service. Should a potential bidder or requester

fail to satisfy such credit criteria, it may still qualify by providing a prepayment, letter of

credit, security interest or guarantee satisfactory to MEP as further set forth in Section

12.1(b) of these General Terms and Conditions. Based on MEP's continuing review of a

Shipper's financial records, MEP shall have the right to amend a Shipper's line of credit

and lower or increase the quantity and term.

(6) ROFR OR ROLLOVER RIGHTS

The capacity allocation procedures of this Section 2.1(b) shall not

apply where a Shipper is utilizing with respect to its existing capacity the Right of First

Refusal procedures or contractual rollover rights pursuant to Section 16 of these General

Terms and Conditions or the rights of a Foundation Shipper under a contractual provision

entered into pursuant to Section 2.7 of Rate Schedule FTS. Instead, the procedures in said

Section 16 or 2.7 will govern the award of capacity in such instances.


FERC Gas Tariff





(7) CAPACITY AWARDED FOR LIMITED PERIOD

This provision applies in situations where firm capacity is awarded

for a limited time period ending on a date no later than the date on which such capacity is

required to provide service under one or more preexisting FTS Agreements or where firm

capacity is operationally available only for a limited time period; provided that this

provision does not govern the rights of Foundation Shippers receiving Interim Period

Service.

(i) MEP may market such capacity for all or any portion of the

limited time period until service under the capacity award becomes effective, or until the

capacity is no longer operationally available.

(ii) MEP shall limit the rights of the Shipper awarded the

capacity to the limited time period, so that the Shipper has no rollover rights or rights of

first refusal which extend beyond the limited time period; provided, however, that nothing

herein shall be read to limit the rights of Foundation Shippers to continued service beyond

the expiration of Interim Period Service. MEP will indicate in any open season posting for

such capacity the limitation on rights which will apply to such firm capacity awarded for

the limited time period.

(c) EVALUATION OF COMPETING BIDS AND REQUESTS

In comparing valid bids received in an open season or in comparing two or

more valid and competing pending requests for service under the Request Procedure, MEP

will award firm capacity based on the highest economic value, as defined in this Section

2.1(c).

(1) HIGHEST ECONOMIC VALUE

The highest economic value is the highest net present value of the

stream of incremental revenue produced in the aggregate by a valid bid or request, or

combination of valid bids or requests, received by MEP for firm capacity which is

consistent with the reserve price where one has been established; provided however, that

such revenue shall not include revenue associated with Leased Capacity. Incremental


FERC Gas Tariff





revenue is the additional revenue MEP would collect from a Shipper under any bid or

request over and above the revenue MEP would otherwise have received after taking into

account any revenue lost or affected by the bid or request (i.e., where an existing capacity

holder submits a bid or request which is contingent upon turnback by that existing capacity

holder of an existing capacity commitment, only the value of such a bid or request net of

the revenue which would be lost to MEP due to the turnback of the existing contractual

commitment will be considered).

(2) ONLY GUARANTEED REVENUE CONSIDERED

In the determination of highest economic value, MEP shall

consider only reservation charge revenue and any other guaranteed revenue under bids or

requests which meet any applicable reserve price, excluding revenue associated with

Leased Capacity. In the case of a bid or request for firm service involving a Negotiated

Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula, the rules for calculating net present value set out in

Section 30 of these General Terms and Conditions shall apply.

(3) POSTING OF CRITERIA

MEP shall post the criteria to be used in the determination

of highest economic value for comparing valid bids in any open season and for comparing

pending requests which are valid and competing. The posting will consist of a net present

value formula, together with all relevant factors and parameters. The discount rate to be

utilized in the NPV formula shall be the FERC approved interest rate. These criteria shall

be posted continuously on the Informational Postings portion of MEP's Interactive

Website. MEP may change the criteria at any time in a manner not inconsistent with the

other provisions of this Section 2.1(c), but the revised criteria may only be applied to an

open season the posting of which commenced at least one (1) Business Day after the

change in criteria has been posted. MEP cannot change the criteria for any on-going open

season. The revised criteria shall apply immediately to all requests received after the

change has been posted. In addition, the posting for each individual open season will

include the following elements: the date to which all bids are discounted in the


FERC Gas Tariff





calculation of net present value; the FERC interest rate utilized; how a Shipper's

willingness or unwillingness to prorate will affect its bid; whether a prearranged

transaction is involved and, if so, whether there is a right to match; the extent to which

advance payments will be considered in evaluating bids; how surcharges will be taken into

account; and the procedure to be used in breaking ties.

(4) OBLIGATION TO AWARD CAPACITY

(i) MEP shall be obligated to award firm capacity if the

applicable maximum rate is submitted for the entire term of a valid bid in any open season

or is requested for the entire term of a valid request under the Request Procedure, up to the

firm capacity covered by the maximum rate bid(s) or request(s), without regard to any

reserve price. If such a maximum rate bid or request is received, MEP shall be obligated to

award the capacity either to the Shipper submitting such a valid bid or request or to a

competing bidder or requestor. The capacity award will be based on the posted criteria

hereunder for evaluating bids or requests.

(ii) MEP shall be obligated to award firm capacity if the

reserve price is met in a valid bid for the capacity being posted for open season, up to the

firm capacity covered by the bid(s) meeting the reserve price. The capacity awards will be

based on application of the posted criteria.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, MEP may, but shall

not be obligated to, award firm capacity based on the following types of otherwise valid

bids or requests: (a) any bid or request for a term of less than one Year, under which

service is to commence more than ninety (90) days following close of the open season; and

(b) any bid or request for a term which is not continuous from the commencement of

service date to the termination of service date reflected in the bid and/or which specifies

different MDQs for various time periods.

(5) RESERVE PRICE MATRIX

In an Initial Open Season, MEP shall establish a reserve

price or reserve price matrix. MEP may, but is not required to, establish a reserve price or

reserve price matrix in an Additional Open Season.


FERC Gas Tariff





(i) A reserve price defines the minimum price(s) at

which MEP will award the firm capacity covered by the open season, which price(s) must

be equal to or less than the applicable maximum rate(s). MEP is not obligated to award

capacity at less than the applicable maximum rate unless a lower rate is set out in the

reserve price matrix. In determining whether a reserve price has been met by any bid, MEP

will compare the net present value of the requested prices in the bid with the net present

value of the applicable reserve price(s). If the reserve price is met, MEP will award firm

capacity to valid bids consistent with the posted bid evaluation criteria and this Section

2.1(c).

(ii) Reserve prices in a reserve price matrix may vary by

relevant elements, including but not limited to term, service type, Receipt Points, Delivery

Points and markets. Differences in "markets", as that term is used in the prior sentence,

shall refer to differences relating to any of the following: (A) defined geographical areas,

where the value of MEP's services may vary among such geographical areas due to current

or projected differences in competitive alternatives, regulation, or operational, supply or

capacity factors; (B) customers, where the value of MEP's services may vary by customer

due to current or projected differences in competitive alternatives available to them or their

demand characteristics (including access to alternative fuels); (C) contract time periods,

where the value of MEP's services may vary due to current or projected differences in

competitive alternatives or market demand at or over different contract time periods (for

example, winter season versus multi-Year); (D) products and services, where the value of

MEP's product and service offerings may vary due to current or projected differences in

competitive alternatives or market demand (provided that this is not intended to tie separate

services together for bidding purposes); or (E) volumes, where the value of MEP's services

may vary due to current or projected differences in competitive alternatives, market

demand or other factors related to contract volume levels. The reserve price matrix in an

open season may include multiple terms, from one Month or less to multi-Year, and shall

indicate if firm capacity is only available for a limited time due to operational or physical

constraints or due to the contractual commitment of such capacity in the future.






(iii) Unless MEP elects to post the reserve price as part

of the posting of an open season, MEP shall provide the reserve price or reserve price

matrix to an independent third party before the posting of an open season. A bidder in an

open season may request the reserve price or reserve price matrix applicable to that open

season at any time after the close of the open season and MEP will provide such

information to the requesting bidder within one Business Day after MEP receives the

request.

(d) POINT CHANGES

Any Shipper with an FTS Agreement may request a permanent

change in primary Point not involving Leased Capacity at any time. MEP will respond to

such a request within two (2) Business Days. MEP shall grant such a request if firm

transportation and point capacity is available to do so; provided that the parties can

mutually agree on the rate unless the applicable FTS Agreement or related discount or

Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula agreement specifies the rate when there is

such a permanent primary point change. Unless otherwise specifically agreed, if the Point

change results in a shortened path which would reduce the applicable rate, the reservation

rate applicable to the longer path shall apply for the remaining term of the Agreement, but

the commodity rate applicable to the shortened path shall apply so long as the shortened

path is in effect under the Agreement; provided, however, the Fuel Gas for the path utilized

shall apply. Any such permanent point change shall be reflected in an amendment to the

FTS Agreement. Any change in primary receipt points on the Leased Capacity is subject

to the Agreement of Enable Oklahoma and MEP.

2.2 REDUCTIONS IN FIRM SERVICES

(a) While firm services are not ordinarily interrupted due to lack of

capacity, capacity constraints may exist from time to time or interruption of service may be

necessary for certain other reasons. MEP may decline to schedule and/or may curtail firm

service for any of the following reasons:

(1) If Shipper tenders Gas which does not conform to the

applicable quality requirements under Section 19 of these General Terms and Conditions;






(2) For reasons of Force Majeure;

(3) Pursuant to Sections 2.7 or 2.8 of these General Terms and

Conditions;

(4) To rectify imbalances, to conform physical flows to

nominations or to effectuate payback of imbalances, to the extent consistent with the

specific Rate Schedule;

(5) If there is a dispute over title, ownership or right to tender

or to receive Gas.

(b) Without limitation to the foregoing, unless otherwise agreed by

contract, MEP shall have the right to reduce receipts or deliveries of Gas on any Day below

Shipper's MDQ to permit maintenance, repair, overhaul, replacement, or construction of

pipelines, compressors, metering, regulating, or other transmission facilities and

equipment, or to maintain System integrity; provided, however, that with respect to routine

repair and maintenance, MEP will attempt to schedule such activity during a period when it

will not result in curtailment to firm services, or when such curtailment will be minimized,

after consulting with the Shippers which could be affected.

(c) No later than fifteen days prior to the scheduled activity (or, in the

case of Leased Capacity, no later than one day after MEP receives notification from Enable

Oklahoma), MEP will post on the Informational Postings portion of its Interactive Website

a tentative schedule of planned maintenance, construction, test, rehabilitation or repair

activities to be performed which MEP anticipates may cause it to fail to tender delivery of

Shipper's scheduled quantities of Gas. The schedule will include the dates the activities are

scheduled to begin and end as well as the portions of the System and capacity expected to

be affected. MEP will endeavor to perform the activities in accordance with the posted

schedule.







(d) (1) As used in this subsection (d), Firm Daily Volume shall

mean the volume of gas which MEP is obligated to deliver on a firm basis for Shipper at

primary Delivery Point(s) under a firm contract on a Day, based on nominations for firm

service within firm contract rights at such primary points which could be confirmed.

Except as provided in subsection (d)(2), in the event MEP fails to deliver on any Day under

any firm contract all of Shipper's Firm Daily Volume for that Day, then the applicable

Reservation Charges and any related reservation-based surcharges shall be eliminated for

the quantity of gas not delivered by MEP within the Shipper's Firm Daily Volume under

the contract; provided, however, that these charges shall not be eliminated to the extent that

the Shipper uses secondary point service.

(2) MEP shall not be obligated to adjust the Reservation

Charge and any related reservation-based surcharges under any contract when MEP's

failure to deliver on any Day 100% of the Firm Daily Volume:

(i) is the result of the conduct of Shipper or the

downstream operator of the facilities at the Delivery Point; or

(ii) occurs either (a) within ten (10) days following a

force majeure event as contemplated by Section 20 of the General Terms and Conditions,

or (b) prior to the date MEP has or should have, in the exercise of due diligence, overcome

the force Majeure event, whichever occur first.

2.3 SCHEDULING OF SERVICES

(a) For the purposes of scheduling and curtailing deliveries of Gas,

firm service shall have priority over interruptible service. Priority to use of capacity on

MEP shall be in accordance with the following priority, in descending order from highest

to lowest priority:

(1) Firm service at primary points and primary paths (scheduled

pro rata based on MDQ);







(2) Firm service at secondary points (scheduled pro rata based

on nominations) within the primary path;

(3) Firm service at secondary points (scheduled pro rata based

on nominations) outside the primary path;

(4) Interruptible service within MDQ and Authorized Overrun

service under both firm and interruptible rate schedules (allocation of service pursuant to

Section 2.5 of these General Terms and Conditions).

(b) In applying steps (2) and (3) under subsection (a), scheduling of

Receipt and Delivery points will be pro rated based on nominations; points within the

primary path are scheduled before points outside the primary path;

(c) For Shippers under Rate Schedule FTS, MEP shall provide notice

of any curtailment or of any scheduling restriction as far in advance as feasible. MEP shall

attempt to provide at least two (2) Days' prior notice, unless more timely action is

necessary to respond to a Force Majeure situation, to balance the Agreement to the extent

consistent with the applicable Rate Schedule, or to maintain System integrity. In addition

to notifying the Shippers affected, MEP will post anticipated and effective curtailment and

scheduling restrictions on the Informational Posting section of its Interactive Website.

(d) Released capacity has the same priority as non-released capacity;

(e) Firm Intraday nominations are entitled to bump scheduled

interruptible volumes only during the Evening, Intraday 1 and Intraday 2 Nomination

Cycles, as defined in Section 6.2. Firm Intraday nominations are not entitled to bump

already scheduled firm volumes.

2.4 ZONES AND SECONDARY POINTS

(a) The System consists of two zones, Zone 1 and Zone 2, plus the

Leased Capacity, as those terms are defined in Section 1 of these General Terms and

Conditions.






(b) Subject to the priorities set out in Section 2.3 of the General Terms

and Conditions, Shippers under Rate Schedule FTS shall have the right to use all Receipt

and Delivery Points on MEP's System in either Zone 1 or Zone 2, to the extent the path of

the FTS Agreement includes any part of that zone, as secondary Receipt and Delivery

Points. Such points may be scheduled, however, only to the extent transmission and point

capacity is available. The MDQ at any secondary point shall be equal to the MDQ for the

Shipper within the zone. The priority of service at secondary points under Rate Schedule

FTS shall be governed by Section 2.3 above. With respect to Leased Capacity, Shippers

shall only have secondary point rights at the Points permitted under the Lease with Enable

Oklahoma and only up to the rights at such points under the Lease not utilized by Shippers

with firm primary rights at these Points. The Points available are posted on MEP's

Interactive Website.

(c) If nominations by all Shippers for secondary point service for

which such Shippers are eligible exceed MEP's available capacity on the applicable path,

available capacity shall be allocated and scheduled pro rata based on a Shipper's confirmed

nominations within MDQ within the applicable priority category as defined in Section 2.3


(d) The primary Receipt and Delivery Points define the primary path(s)

of an FTS Agreement, including the direction of "forward" flow for the primary path(s),

and define whether a secondary point is "in path" or "out of path." Shippers may nominate

service at secondary points so that the direction of flow is the same as or the opposite

("backhaul") from the primary path direction of flow, but if the direction of flow is

opposite the primary path, such nomination shall be treated as being outside the primary

path.

(e) Shippers under Rate Schedule ITS have access to all Points on

MEP's System to the extent provided in Section 2.5(d) of these General Terms and

Conditions. Shippers under Rate Schedules PALS and IBS have access to all Points on

MEP's System, except the Points on Leased Capacity, but the Points actually utilized for

any specific service will be specified in the Request Order for Rate Schedule PALS and in

the IBS Agreement for Rate Schedule IBS.


FERC Gas Tariff





2.5 INTERRUPTIBLE RATE SCHEDULES

This Section 2.5 governs the priority of interruptible services under

Rate Schedules ITS, PALS and IBS on MEP's System.

(a) Service under Rate Schedules ITS, PALS and IBS shall be

provided to the extent capacity is available, if any, after scheduling all of MEP's firm

transportation service at primary and/or secondary points. MEP may decline to

schedule and/or may curtail interruptible service under Rate Schedules ITS, PALS

and IBS for any of the following reasons:

(1) If Shipper tenders Gas which does not conform to the

applicable pressure or quality requirements of these General Terms and Conditions;

(2) For reason of Force Majeure;

(3) Due to routine repair and maintenance to be

reasonably determined by MEP;

(4) Pursuant to Section 2.8 of these General Terms and

Conditions;

(5) To rectify imbalances or to conform physical flows to

nominations to the extent consistent with the specific Rate Schedule;

(6) To maintain System integrity;

(b) (1) To the extent there is insufficient capacity available

to schedule all properly nominated and confirmed services under Rate Schedules

ITS, PALS, IBS and firm Authorized Overrun Service, MEP shall schedule such

service based on the rate to be paid, from highest to lowest unit rate, with service for

which the highest unit rate being paid is scheduled first; provided however, MEP

shall permit a Shipper nominating such interruptible services to increase its rate

during the Timely Nomination Cycle only, as defined in Section 6.2(a) of the GT&C

hereof. This right shall also apply to firm Shippers' authorized overrun volumes.

Any Shipper paying the maximum rate applicable to its service (or revenue equal to

or greater than the applicable maximum rate pursuant to a Negotiated


FERC Gas Tariff





Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula) shall be afforded highest priority even if a Shipper

which has agreed to a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula is paying a higher unit

rate. In the event there is insufficient capacity to schedule all Rate Schedules ITS, PALS

and IBS services, and authorized overrun services, for which the same rate is to be paid,

MEP shall allocate the available capacity pro rata based on the confirmed nominated

volume.

(2) In interrupting or curtailing service under Rate Schedules

ITS, PALS and IBS or firm transportation authorized overrun due to lack of capacity, MEP

shall [except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) below] interrupt such service based on

the rate being paid, from lowest to highest unit rate, with service for which the lowest unit

rate being paid is interrupted first. Any Shipper paying the maximum rate applicable to its

service (or revenue equal to or greater than the applicable maximum rate pursuant to a

Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula) shall be afforded highest priority even if a

Shipper which has agreed to a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula is paying a

higher unit rate. In the event there is insufficient capacity to continue all Rate Schedule

ITS, PALS and IBS service for which the same rate is being paid, MEP shall allocate the

available capacity pro rata based on the confirmed nomination volume.

(c) This subsection discusses Rate Schedules IBS and PALS

curtailment rules for Rate Schedules IBS and PALS:

(1) Service under Rate Schedule IBS shall be scheduled and

curtailed based on MEP's System operational capability, on resources provided by Third

Party Imbalance Management Agreements and on offsetting Access Requests on the

relevant portions of MEP's System. Service shall not be provided under Rate Schedule

IBS, and service pursuant to a confirmed Access Request under Rate Schedule IBS shall be

interrupted, if such service would be detrimental to MEP's ability to provide primary firm

service or secondary point service.

(2) If providing service under any IBS Agreement would have

an adverse effect on providing any other interruptible service, the IBS Agreement shall, for

scheduling and balancing purposes, be assigned the priority of the transportation

Agreement to which the IBS Agreement is linked, with overrun volumes being assigned

priority on the same basis as overrun volumes under the linked transportation Agreement.






(3) In the event MEP can provide some service under Rate

Schedule IBS on any portion of its System but that its capability on any Day is insufficient

to schedule all Access Requests under Rate Schedule IBS, first priority for scheduling and

curtailment purposes shall be granted to Access Requests which are linked to a firm

transportation Agreement (if allocation within this class is required, allocation shall be pro

rata based on MDQ). If sufficient capability is available to serve some but not all Access

Requests under IBS Agreements linked to interruptible transportation Agreements, service

under Rate Schedule IBS shall be allocated based on the price paid under the linked

interruptible transportation Agreement.

(4) Service under Rate Schedule PALS shall not be scheduled

if doing so would have an adverse effect on any firm or secondary point service. Service

under Rate Schedule PALS shall be scheduled and curtailed based on MEP's system

operational and System operational capability. Service hereunder shall be interrupted and

curtailed if continuation of such service would be detrimental to MEP's ability to provide

any firm service or any secondary point service. While service hereunder is not ordinarily

expected to affect transportation capacity, if providing service hereunder would have an

adverse effect on providing interruptible transportation service, a PALS Agreement shall

for scheduling and allocation purposes be assigned the same priority as service under Rate

Schedule ITS. The same priority shall be applied for scheduling and allocation in relation

to service under Rate Schedule IBS or other PALS Agreements. Once a park or loan has

been scheduled on any day under Rate Schedule PALS, that park or loan shall not be

interrupted or curtailed to effectuate any other interruptible service, except for secondary

point service.

(d) An ITS Agreement shall specify whether it covers Zone 1, Zone 2

or both zones. An Agreement under Rate Schedule ITS will include all Receipt and all

Delivery Points within the zone(s) covered. With respect to Leased Capacity, Shippers

shall only have rights at the Receipt and Delivery Points permitted under the Lease with

Enable Oklahoma. Applicable maximum rates are specified in this Tariff by zone. With

respect to Interim Period Service, a Shipper under an ITS Agreement will have all points

on the portion of Zone 1 which is in service.


FERC Gas Tariff





2.6 UNAUTHORIZED GAS

No Shipper shall have any right to take Unauthorized Gas at any Point.

Unauthorized Gas is subject to the charges set out in Section 9.2 of these General Terms

and Conditions. To the extent MEP is unable to accept Unauthorized Gas without

jeopardizing the safety of MEP's operations and/or its ability to meet its contractual

obligations to other Shippers, such decisions to be solely within the judgment and

discretion of MEP, MEP shall have the right to limit deliveries at the Point, curtail receipts

of Gas at Receipt Points and/or to vent, without incurring any liability to Shipper, or any

third party, such Unauthorized Gas as it is unable to accept and/or transport or take such

other action as is necessary to manage the System. However, MEP shall use its best efforts

to avoid or minimize such venting. If feasible, MEP will give prior notice to a Shipper

before venting its Gas, but is not required to do so if operational considerations necessitate

immediate venting. Volumes at Delivery Points which can be accommodated under an

OBA shall not be considered Unauthorized Gas.

2.7 OTHER FACTORS

MEP's service obligation hereunder shall be subject to Shipper providing

nominations under Section 6 of these General Terms and Conditions, to the confirmation of

nominations by upstream and downstream entities and to the circumstances identified in

Section 2.2(d)(2) of these General Terms and Conditions.

2.8 DELINQUENCY IN PAYMENT

(a) Irrespective of any otherwise applicable priority, MEP may

suspend service to any Shipper which is delinquent in payments under any Agreement,

subject to the following conditions:

(1) MEP shall give Shipper written notice of the delinquency

and of MEP's intent to suspend service if the deficiency is not cured. If the delinquency is

not remedied within ten (10) days of such notice, MEP may suspend service. MEP shall

simultaneously provide written notice to the Commission of any such suspension.


FERC Gas Tariff





(2) If a Shipper which has been deficient in payment hereunder

is again deficient in payment within six (6) Months after the prior deficiency, then MEP

may suspend service to such Shipper within five (5) Business Days after providing notice

hereunder unless Shipper remedies the deficiency within that time period.

(3) A Shipper shall not be obligated to pay any reservation or

demand charges for suspended service attributable to the period when that service is

suspended.

(b) In addition to suspension, MEP may terminate service if the

Shipper fails to remedy a delinquency in payment. Any such termination requires thirty

(30) days' prior notice to Shipper and to the Commission. To avoid termination, the

Shipper must remedy the deficiency within this notice period. Such notice may be given

simultaneously with the initial notice under Section 2.8(a)(1) of these General Terms and

Conditions.

(c) In the event of a good faith billing dispute, withholding of payment

for the amount in dispute by Shipper shall not be considered a delinquency in payment,

consistent with Section 11 of these General Terms and Conditions, and will not result in

suspension or termination of service.

(d) MEP may not take any action under this Section 2.8 which

conflicts with any order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.


FERC Gas Tariff





3. RECEIPT POINTS

3.1 FACILITIES AT RECEIPT POINTS

FERC Gas Tariff





4. DELIVERY OF GAS FOR THE ACCOUNT OF SHIPPER

4.1 DELIVERY VOLUMES

Commencing on the date of first acceptance by MEP of Gas delivered by

or on behalf of Shipper at the Receipt Point(s) pursuant to a transportation Agreement,

and continuing thereafter during the term of that Agreement, MEP shall deliver

Equivalent Volumes, or cause Equivalent Volumes to be delivered to Shipper, or to a

mutually agreeable third party for Shipper's account, at the Delivery Point(s) described in

the Agreement or applicable to the Agreement under this Tariff. In determining

Equivalent Volumes, MEP shall retain Gas in kind for Fuel Gas and Unaccounted For

Gas as set out in Section 36 of the General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff.

4.2 DELIVERY FACILITIES

Unless otherwise agreed by MEP, MEP shall own, operate and maintain all

pipeline and measurement facilities necessary to deliver and measure Gas hereunder. In

the event any such facilities are installed by MEP, Section 5 of these General Terms and

Conditions shall apply.

4.3 OBLIGATION

Except as otherwise provided in this Tariff, MEP's maximum obligation to

deliver Gas at a Delivery Point under an Agreement shall not exceed the lesser of: (a)

the applicable Point MDQ at that Delivery Point as specified in the Agreement or as

applicable to that Delivery Point under this Tariff; or (b) the total daily volume Shipper

or its designee is willing and able to receive at the Delivery Point.

4.4 LOCATION

Unless otherwise described in an Agreement, the Delivery Point(s) for

transportation Agreements shall be located at the interconnection between the facilities

of Shipper or its designee, and the facilities of MEP.

4.5 DELIVERY CONDITIONS

Delivery conditions are set out in Section 18 of these General Terms and

Conditions.


FERC Gas Tariff





5 NEW FACILITIES CHARGE

5.1 (a) With respect to new or expanded interconnection facilities only

(not including Preapproved Capacity facilities or other facilities as agreed upon with

Foundation Shippers), when such new and/or expanded facilities are required to

accommodate receipt and/or delivery of Gas under a request for new or revised service,

and MEP determines that installation of such facilities will not impair service to any

existing Shipper or threaten the integrity of MEP's System, MEP will construct such

facilities but, unless otherwise provided by contract, MEP shall require the requesting

Shipper to pay as the CIAC as defined in Section 1.9 of these General Terms and

Conditions, except that MEP will pay the cost of such facilities when the criteria set forth

in Section 5.2 are satisfied.

5.2 Notwithstanding Section 5.1, MEP may, but is not obligated to, pay all or a

portion of the cost of new or expanded interconnection facilities; provided, however, that

any agreement by MEP to bear such costs must be on a basis which is not unduly

discriminatory.

5.3 Unless otherwise provided by contract, when MEP has previously paid for

Receipt or Delivery Point facilities under this facilities reimbursement policy, the

requesting Shipper shall, nevertheless, promptly pay MEP for MEP's net book value of

such facilities when either of the following events occurs: (a) when MEP's ability to fully

recover such costs is denied in any rate proceeding under Section 4 or Section 5 of the

Natural Gas Act; or (b) when Shipper ceases operations at the facilities.







6. NOMINATION/REPORTING, BALANCING AND SEGMENTATION

6.1 GENERAL

(a) MEP provides personnel available to handle nominations seven (7)

Days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a Day. It is recognized that the success of seven-

days-a-week, twenty-four-hours-a-day nomination process is dependent on the

availability of affected parties’ scheduling personnel on a similar basis. Party contacts

need not be at their ordinary work sites but should be available by telephone or other

electronic means. Whenever Shipper desires service, Shipper shall furnish to MEP a

separate nomination for each nominated Point under each Agreement with a beginning

and end date for flow which can be for any duration within the term of the applicable

Agreement; provided, however, any such nomination shall not be binding to the extent

Shipper submits subsequent nomination(s). All nominations excluding Intraday

Nominations should have rollover options. All nominations should be considered

original nominations and should be replaced to be changed. When a nomination for a

date range is received, each Day within that range is considered an original nomination.

When a subsequent nomination is received for one or more Days within that range, the

previous nomination is superseded by the subsequent nomination only to the extent of

the Days specified. The Days of the previous nomination outside the range of the

subsequent nomination are unaffected. Nominations have a prospective effect only.

(b) For non-Intraday Nominations, a rollover option is available such

that a Shipper shall have the ability to nominate for several Days, Months, or Years,

provided the nomination begin and end dates are within the term of the Shipper's

contract. All nominations should be based on a Daily quantity and all volumes shall be

expressed in Dth per Day and shall be stated for each Point.

(c) If an upstream or downstream party requires additional

information, if the volumes transported are subject to a discounted rate, or if additional

information is otherwise required by MEP, then, upon notification by MEP, Shipper

must include in each nomination such additional information as is specified by MEP.

Nominations must be submitted to MEP through MEP's Interactive Website, or such

other electronic means as are mutually agreed upon by MEP and Shipper. The sending

party should adhere to nomination, confirmation and scheduling deadlines. The

receiving party may waive any submittal deadline in this Section 6.

(d) Nominations may include payback volumes as provided in Rate

Schedules IBS and PALS.







(e) The standard quantity for nominations, confirmation and

scheduling is dekatherms per Gas Day in the United States, gigajoules per Gas Day in

Canada and gigacalories per Gas Day in Mexico. (For reference, 1 dekatherm = 1,000,000

Btus; 1 gigajoule = 1,000,000,000 joules; and 1 gigacalorie = 1,000,000,000 calories.) For

commercial purposes, the standard conversion factor between dekatherms and gigajoules is

1.055056 gigajoules per dekatherm and between dekatherms and gigacalories is 0.251996

gigacalories per dekatherm. The standard Btu is the International Btu, which is also called

the Btu (IT); the standard joule is the joule specified in the SI system of units. The

International Btu is specified for use in the Gas measurement standards of the American

Gas Association, the American Petroleum Institute, the Gas Processors Association and the

American Society for Testing Materials. For non-commercial purposes, these associations

note that the exact conversion factor is 1.05505585262 gigajoules per dekatherm.

6.2 STANDARD NOMINATION CYCLES

MEP supports the following standard nomination cycles (all times are

Central Clock Time (CCT)):

(a) The Timely Nomination Cycle: 1:00 p.m. for nominations leaving

control of the nomination party; 1:15 p.m. for receipt of nominations by MEP (including

from Title Transfer Tracking Service Providers (TTTSPs)); 1:30 p.m. to send Quick

Response; 4:30 p.m. for receipt of completed confirmations by MEP from upstream and

downstream connected parties; 5:00 p.m. for receipt of scheduled quantities by Shipper and

point operator (on the day prior to flow). Scheduled quantities resulting from Timely

Nominaitons should be effective at the start of the next Gas Day.

(b) The Evening Nomination Cycle: 6:00 p.m. for nominations leaving

control of the nominating party; 6:15 p.m. for receipt of nominations by MEP (including

confirmations by MEP from upstream and downstream connected parties; 9:00 p.m. for

MEP to provide scheduled quantities to affected Shippers and point operators, and to

provide scheduled quantities to bumped parties (notice to bumped parties), (on the day

prior to gas flow).







Scheduled quantities resulting from Evening Nominations should

be effective at the start of the next Gas Day.

(c) The Intraday 1 Nomination Cycle: 10:00 a.m. for nominations leaving

control of the nominating party; 10:15 a.m. for receipt of nominations by MEP (including

from TTTSPs); 10:30 a.m. to send Quick Response; 12:30 p.m. for receipt of completed

confirmations by MEP from upstream and downstream connected parties; 1:00 p.m. for

MEP to provide scheduled quantities to affected Shippers and point operators, and to

provide scheduled quantities to bumped parties (notice to bumped parties), (on the current

Gas Day). Scheduled quantities resulting from Intraday 1 Nominations should be effective

at 2:00 p.m. on the current Gas Day.

(d) The Intraday 2 Nomination Cycle: 2:30 p.m. for nominations

leaving control of the nominating party; 2:45 p.m. for receipt of nominations by MEP

(including from TTTSPs); 3:00 p.m. to send Quick Response; 5:00 p.m. for receipt of

completed confirmations by MEP from upstream and downstream connected parties; 5:30

p.m. for MEP to provide scheduled quantities to affected Shippers and point operators,

including bumped parties (notice to bumped parties) (on the current Gas Day). Scheduled

quantities resulting from Intraday 2 Nominations should be effective at 6:00 p.m. on the

current Gas Day.

(e) The Intraday 3 Nomination Cycle: 7:00 p.m. for nominations

leaving control of the nominating party; 7:15 p.m. for receipt of nominations by MEP

(including from TTTSPs); 7:30 p.m. to send Quick Response; 9:30 p.m. for receipt of

completed confirmation by MEP from upstream and downstream connected parties; 10:00

p.m. for MEP top provide scheduled quantities to affected Shippers and point operators (on

the current Gas Day). Scheduled quantities resulting from the Intraday 3 Nominations

should be effective at 10:00 p.m. on the current Gas Day. Bumping is not allowed during

the Intraday 3 Nomination Cycle.

(f) For purposes of Section 6.2 (b), (c) (d) and (e), "provide" shall

mean, for transmittals pursuant to NAESB WGQ Standards 1.4.X, receipt at the designated

site, via MEP's Interactive Website or EDI and for purposes of other forms of transmittal, it

shall mean send or post.

(g) The rights of a Releasing Shipper to recall capacity within any

nomination cycle shall be governed by Section 14.14 of these General Terms and

Conditions.







(h) A Shipper which has been awarded firm capacity in a capacity

release may submit a nomination using such capacity at the next available opportunity for

nominations under this Section 6.2 which occurs on or after the time capacity is awarded,

including an Intraday nomination in either the Intraday 1, the Intraday 2, or the Intraday 3

Nomination Cycle, and which is consistent with Section 14.9(d) of these General Terms

and Conditions.

6.3 REQUIRED NOMINATION CHANGES

If estimated Daily flows under a particular Agreement differ from the

confirmed nominations, or if an imbalance has occurred due to some other reason, then

prospective nomination change(s) (either receipt or delivery adjustments) may be required

to bring the volumes into balance. When a Shipper receives notification of a required

change in the nomination, the Shipper shall be responsible for informing upstream and

downstream parties of the prospective change and providing MEP with a nomination as

required in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof.

6.4 CONFIRMATION BY MEP

(a) Nominations made in accordance with Sections 6.2, 6.3, and 6.5

hereof shall not become effective until MEP has confirmed the nominated receipts and

deliveries with upstream and downstream parties, subject to other provisions of this

Section 6. Shipper shall designate the appropriate person(s) who has the authority to

resolve allocation issues, if requested by MEP and, if requested by MEP, the appropriate

person(s) to confirm nominations. Confirmations must be submitted to MEP through its

Interactive Website, or such other electronic means as are mutually agreed upon by MEP

and Shipper.

(b) Subject to Section 6.2 and the other provisions of this Tariff, MEP

shall provide Shippers and point operators via its Interactive Website, or by EDI, the

quantities that have been scheduled to flow for that Shipper and point operator on the next

Day.

(c) Unless otherwise provided in an Operational Flow Order, default

confirmation procedures are as follows:




Issued On: March 25, 2019 Effective On: August 1, 2019


(i) With respect to the timely nomination/ confirmation process

at any Point, in the absence of agreement to the contrary, the lesser of the confirmation

quantities will be the confirmed quantity. If there is no response to a Request For

Confirmation or an unsolicited Confirmation Response, the lesser of the confirmation

quantity or the scheduled quantity for the Timely Nomination Cycle of the previous Gas

Day will be the new confirmed quantity.

(ii) With respect to the processing of requests for increases

during the Intraday nomination/confirmation process, in the absence of agreement to the

contrary, the lesser of the confirmation quantities will be the new confirmed quantity. If

there is no response to a Request For Confirmation or an unsolicited Confirmation

Response, the scheduled quantity for the previous nomination cycle for the subject Gas

Day will be the new confirmed quantity.

(iii) With respect to the processing of requests for decreases

during the Intraday nomination/confirmation process, in the absence of agreement to the

contrary, the lesser of the confirmation quantities will be the new confirmed quantity, but

in any event no less than the elapsed-prorated-scheduled quantity. If there is no response to

a Request For Confirmation or an unsolicited Confirmation Response, the greater of the

confirmation quantity or the elapsed-prorated-scheduled quantity will be the new

confirmed quantity. Elapsed-prorated-scheduled quantity means that portion of the

scheduled quantity that would have theoretically flowed up to the effective time of the

Intraday nomination being confirmed, based upon a cumulative uniform hourly quantity for

each nomination period affected.

(iv) With respect to Sections 6.4(c)(i), (ii), and (iii), if there is

no response to a Request For Confirmation or an unsolicited Confirmation Response, MEP

will provide the Shipper with the following information to explain why the nomination

failed, as applicable;

(1) the Service Requester's Transportation Service

Provider did not conduct the confirmation;

(2) the Service Requester is told by its Transportation

Service Provider that the upstream confirming party did not conduct the confirmation;








Service Provider that the upstream Service Requester did not have the Gas or submit the

nomination;


Service Provider that the downstream confirming party did not conduct the confirmation;


Service Provider that the downstream Service Requester did not have the market or submit

the nomination.

6.5 INTRADAY NOMINATIONS

(a) An Intraday nomination is a nomination submitted after the

nomination deadline whose effective time is no earlier than the beginning of the Gas Day

and which runs through the end of that Gas Day.

(b) MEP supports the nomination cycles set forth at Section 6.2 during

non-Critical Times. During Critical Times, valid Intraday nominations may be submitted at

any time.

(c) MEP will provide notification of bumped volumes through the

Scheduled Quantity document, as posted on MEP's Interactive Website, and telephone or

telefax consistent with Sections 13 and 22 of the General Terms and Conditions of this

Tariff and through Electronic Notice Delivery consistent with NAESB WGQ Standards as

adopted in Section 29 of these General Terms and Conditions. Except during a Critical

Time, MEP will waive any daily penalties applicable to bumped volumes on the day of the

bump. MEP will also waive penalties if it fails to provide appropriate notice of the bump.

(d) For services that provide for Intraday nominations and scheduling,

there is no limitation as to the number of Intraday nominations which a service requester

may submit at any one standard nomination cycle or in total across all standard nomination

cycles.







(e) Revised predetermined allocations are to be submitted consistent

with Section 7 of these General Terms and Conditions.

(f) Unless MEP agrees to the contrary, the revised nomination under

an Intraday Nomination may be limited by Section 6.4(c). MEP and the interconnecting

party will agree on the hourly flows of the Intraday Nomination.

(g) An Intraday nomination is only effective for a single Gas Day

(intraday nominations do not roll over). There is no need to re-nominate if the Intraday

nomination is intended to modify the existing nomination. The Shipper should submit a

new timely nomination if the Shipper wants to replace the previously submitted standing

nomination or commence service for the next Gas Day.

(h) Intraday nominations can be used to request increases or decreases

in total flow, changes to Receipt Points, or changes to Delivery Points of scheduled Gas.

6.6 END-OF-GAS-DAY SCHEDULED QUANTITY DOCUMENT

At the end of each Gas Day, MEP will provide the final scheduled

quantities for the just completed Gas Day. MEP will send an End of Gas Day Scheduled

Quantity document and Scheduled Quantity for Operator document. Receivers of either of

these documents can waive the sender's requirement to send these documents.

6.7 OVERRUN QUANTITIES

Shippers submitting nominations via Interactive Website or EDI for

transportation of overrun volumes (volumes in excess of the MDQ) must submit separate

nominations for such overrun volumes. Shipper should mark that nomination as being for

overrun volumes.


FERC Gas Tariff





6.8 DELEGATION

A Shipper may delegate to any third party responsibility for submitting and

receiving notices or nominations or performing other administrative duties under any

Agreement, and an entity which controls a point of interconnection with MEP may

delegate to any third party responsibility for administering agreements regarding allocation

of Gas volumes at the point and/or for administering any point operator agreement, subject

to the following conditions:

(a) Any designation of such a representative, and any change in such

designation, must be in writing and must be submitted at least two (2) Business Days prior

to the requested effective date.

(b) The written designation shall specify any limits on the authority of

the representative, including any time limit on the designation; provided, however, that

MEP may reject any such limited designation if the limitations specified in the designation

would result in an undue administrative burden.

(c) MEP may rely on communications from the designated

representative of a Shipper or interconnecting entity for all purposes except to the extent

the designation is explicitly limited as specified in the preceding Section 6.8(b).

Communications by MEP to such designated representative shall be deemed notice to

Shipper or the interconnecting entity except to the extent the representative's authority is

explicitly limited with respect to the receipt of notice under the procedure set out in said

Section 6.8(b).

(d) Any third party may administer multiple transportation Agreements

as the designated representative for one or more Shippers and/or interconnecting entities.

However, such representative shall separately administer and account for each such

Agreement.


FERC Gas Tariff





6.9 TRANSFER NOMINATIONS

(a) Whenever Gas is purchased at a Receipt Point on MEP's System by

an entity that is not going to nominate that Gas for receipt by MEP under a transportation

Agreement, that entity must submit a transfer nomination to MEP through its Interactive

Website (or EDI), identifying the quantities (in Dth) and the entities from whom the Gas is

being bought and the entities to whom the Gas is being sold. Such transfer nominations are

needed in order to be able to confirm the nominated receipts at that point and thus such

transfer nominations are due by the deadlines applicable to Shipper nominations, subject to

Section 6.2. In addition to the transfer nomination, the purchasing entity must submit a

predetermined allocation in accordance with Section 7 of these General Terms and

Conditions if there is more than one buyer of the purchasing entity's Gas.

(b) A third party may provide title tracking services on MEP's system

as follows:

(1) The entity seeking to provide such a service (Third Party

Account Administrator) shall so notify MEP in writing, in which event MEP shall establish

an identification number for nominations involving the Third Party Account Administrator.

(2) Transfer nominations consistent with this Section 6.9 must

be made by the Shipper tendering Gas for delivery to the Third Party Account

Administrator, where subsequent title to such Gas is to be tracked by the Third Party

Account Administrator; and

(3) The Third Party Account Administrator shall maintain

records of any title transfers after delivery of Gas to it and shall submit a nomination

consistent with this Section 6.9 for delivery of Gas to the last party in the chain of title,

which party shall also submit a nomination for receipt of the Gas consistent with this

Section 6.9.


FERC Gas Tariff





6.10 NOMINATION PRIORITIES

As part of the nomination and transfer nomination process, if there is more

than one supply source nominated to be delivered to a single Delivery Point or buyer, the

nomination or transfer nomination must identify how and which supply sources should be

cut in the event all nominated deliveries are not or cannot be made. Similarly, the

nomination or transfer nomination must identify which delivery should be cut in the event

Gas is not or cannot be received as nominated (i.e., ranking). Ranking is to be included in

the list of data elements. MEP is to use Shipper provided rankings when making reductions

during the scheduling process when this does not conflict with tariff-based rules.

6.11 OPERATIONAL BALANCING

MEP agrees that it will negotiate with each entity that operates facilities

interconnecting with MEP at Delivery Points (Balance Operator) in a good faith effort to

reach an agreement to deal with imbalances at such Delivery Point(s) (at Receipt Points,

MEP may rely on PDAs under Section 7 of these General Terms and Conditions), which

OBA Agreement would be a form of a Predetermined Allocation, subject to the following

conditions:

(a) Such agreement must set out a mutually agreeable procedure for

dealing at the Delivery Point(s), as between MEP and Balance Operator, with any

difference between confirmed nominations and actual physical Gas flow caused by

operational conditions; such an agreement may include imbalances charges and penalties,

and/or limitations on the volume of imbalance which may be accommodated, but MEP is

not obligated to agree to include any provisions for cashout of imbalances;

(b) The Balance Operator must meet the same creditworthiness

standards as Shipper;

(c) MEP and Balance Operator must not have previously entered into

such agreement which was terminated because of Balance Operator's failure to perform.

Nothing herein is intended to restrict MEP's right to terminate in accordance with its terms

any agreement entered into hereunder, including without limitation the right to terminate

for Balance Operator's failure to perform consistent with its obligations under the

agreement.


FERC Gas Tariff





6.12 POOLING POINTS FOR DELIVERIES

(a) One Pooling Point has been designated each for Zone 1 and for

Zone 2. These points are not physical points on the MEP System, but are paper points used

for aggregation and nomination purposes and to provide pooling services, consistent with

this Section 6.12. Subject to the remainder of this Section 6.12, any number and type of

Agreements may be utilized to deliver Gas to or take Gas away from a Pooling Point.

Under FTS agreements, pooling points within each zone are only accessible to firm

shippers to the extent capacity is held in such zone, except for contracts with firm capacity

rights only in Zone 2, which additionally have access to the Zone 1 Pooling Point as a

secondary receipt point. There is no Pooling Point for Leased Capacity.

(b) The Pooling Point in the applicable zone may also be a Receipt

Point under either an ITS or FTS Agreement and be used for transportation to Delivery

Points, including transportation across zone boundaries as provided in subsection (c) hereof

and transportation within a zone. For transportation to a Pooling Point from a Receipt

Point within the zone, Shipper will pay all applicable charges, including without limitation,

reservation, commodity, Fuel Gas, Booster Compression Fuel and Unaccounted For Gas.

There are no transportation commodity charges or Fuel Gas and Unaccounted For Gas

charges applicable to transportation of gas from a Pooling Point to a Delivery Point within

the zone.

(c) If Gas is transported from a Pooling Point in the zone of receipt to a

Delivery Point, including a Pooling Point, in a zone other than the zone of receipt (New

Zone), under either an FTS or an ITS Agreement, Shipper shall pay all applicable charges,

including without limitation, reservation, commodity, Fuel Gas, Booster Compression

Fuel, and Unaccounted For Gas for transportation in the New Zone.

(d) Gas may be delivered to a Pooling Point under either an FTS

Agreement or an ITS Agreement.

(e) Nominations to and from Pooling Points will be subject to the same

nomination and confirmation procedures as all other receipts and deliveries. For

scheduling and curtailment purposes, the priority of service for transportation to or from a

Pooling Point is based on the transportation Agreement under which Gas is delivered to the


FERC Gas Tariff





Pooling Point in that zone. For purposes of scheduling and curtailment and segmentation,

as set out in subsection (f) below, in the case of Zone 1, the Pooling Point will be deemed

to be located at the interconnect between MEP and Columbia Gulf Transmission; and (ii)

in the case of Zone 2, the Pooling Point will be deemed to be located at the interconnect

between MEP and Transco. All volumes nominated for transportation to a Pooling Point

on any Day should be matched using NAESB package IDs or some other means acceptable

to MEP, with nominations of those volumes for transportation from the same Pooling Point

on the same Day. For any volumes not matched, the priority of service for transportation

from the Pooling Point will be interruptible. No imbalances will be permitted at a Pooling

Point, but Gas may be parked or loaned at Pooling Points subject to the provisions of Rate

Schedule PALS.

(f) An FTS Agreement which is eligible for access to a Pooling Point

in a zone pursuant to Section 6.12(d) may be segmented at any point within that zone(s),

including the Pooling Point.

(g) Gas may be bought and sold at a Pooling Point, subject to the

provisions of this Section 6.12.

(h) Zone Boundary Transfer Point. A Shipper with a contract that has

firm capacity rights only in Zone 2 and with a Zone Boundary Transfer Point (that is a

primary firm receipt point under such contract) may effectuate the transfer of Gas from

Zone 1 to Zone 2 by nominating the Zone 1 Pooling Point (not the Zone Boundary Point)

as a receipt point for delivery to Zone 2. Such transactions will only incur applicable

charges for transportation in Zone 2 and are, therefore, subject to Section 6.12(c) hereof.

6.13 SEGMENTATION

(a) A Shipper may segment its firm capacity to the extent operationally

feasible through the nomination process; provided, however, that no segmentation will be

permitted on the Leased Capacity and segmentation involving Pooling Points is subject to

Section 6.12. In addition, any Shipper may segment its firm capacity by releasing one or

more segments of that capacity (the Releasing Shipper may retain one or more segments of

its capacity), to the extent operationally feasible, by following the procedures set out in

Section 14 of these General Terms and Conditions; provided, however, that no

segmentation will be permitted on the Leased Capacity. In the case of segmentation


FERC Gas Tariff





through release, the Releasing Shipper may segment by nomination any portion of the

capacity it retains to the extent operationally feasible and the Replacement Shipper may

segment by nomination any portion of the capacity it obtains in the release to the extent

operationally feasible.

(b) For the purposes of this Section 6.13 and subject to the other

provisions hereof, whether segmentation is through nomination or results from the release

of firm capacity on a segmented basis, the primary path under an Agreement may be

segmented, and segmentation may extend outside the primary path to the extent consistent

with this Sections 6.13, except for Leased Capacity, and such segmentation shall be

deemed operationally feasible unless:

(1) the segmentation would result in an increase in firm

contractual obligation by MEP on any segment or portion of its system (through an overlap

of segments); or

(2) the segmentation would result in a forward-haul in a

direction opposite to the primary path of the Agreement being segmented [backhauls are

addressed in (d) below].

(c) In the event a firm capacity path is segmented under this Section

6.13, each segment shall have access to all secondary points within either zone on MEP's

System provided that any portion of the primary path segment is within that zone, except

for Pooling Points, access to which is governed by Section 6.12 of these General Terms

and Conditions. Any point which is outside the primary path for the segment shall be

treated as out-of-path secondary in relation to nominations for that segment. In the case of

a segmented release, if nominations result in an overlapping path, through nomination at

out-of-path secondary points, overrun charges for volumes in excess of the MDQ under the

original Agreement in the area of overlap shall be applied as follows:

(1) if a Shipper is nominating or flowing within the primary

path under its segment, overrun shall not apply to that segment so long as such Shipper is

within its MDQ on that segment and any overrun shall be assigned to the segment on

which Shipper is nominating and flowing outside its path; (ii) if a Shipper is nominating or

flowing in excess of its MDQ on a segment under the segmented release, the Shipper shall


FERC Gas Tariff





be assessed overrun based on the volume in excess of its MDQ; and (iii) where the Shipper

on each segment is within its MDQ, but is nominating on a secondary out-of-path basis so

as to create an overlap in nominated paths, and aggregate nomination by the Releasing and

Replacement Shipper in the area of overlap are in excess of the original contract MDQ,

then except as provided in (i) and (ii), overrun charges will be assessed to the Releasing

Shipper unless the release specifies that such overrun charges are to be assessed to the

Replacement Shipper.

(d) The direction of flow for path segments must be the same direction

of flow as for the original path unless MEP agrees otherwise or unless such a change in

direction of flow is consistent with the Agreement. A Shipper may segment a backhaul if

such backhaul can be nominated and scheduled on any day on MEP's system. However, if

Shipper desires assurance that it may segment a backhaul transaction for a longer period

(beyond the current Gas Day), such segmentation shall be subject to review by MEP on a

case-by-case basis as to whether a backhaul on each resulting segment is operationally

feasible. The Shipper (or Replacement Shipper in the case of a release) may nominate

service at Receipt and Delivery Points for the path segment that results in a reverse flow

from the original path; however, such a nomination will be treated as being secondary

outside of the path. Subject to the availability of point capacity and to ordinary nomination

procedures, deliveries may be made at the same point for a forward haul on the upstream

segment and a backhaul of the downstream segment and such nominations will not create a

Point overrun so long as nominations in either direction do not exceed the MDQ. The

forward haul will have priority at the Point if the Point capacity is not adequate. At the

point of segmentation, deliveries may be nominated on the upstream segment up to MDQ

and receipts may be nominated on the downstream segment up to MDQ, subject to

constraints on Point capacity and ordinary scheduling procedures and priorities.

(e) (1) Subject to the remainder of this subsection 6.13(e), the

Releasing and Replacement Shipper involved in a segmented release may each choose

primary Receipt Points and primary Delivery Points equal to their respective contract

MDQs after the release; provided, however, that the primary Points chosen are not on the

Leased Capacity and that the resulting segments may not overlap in a way that exceeds the

MDQ of the original contract on a segment. If the points chosen are within the path of the

original Agreement and do not involve changing a primary point thereunder, the point

designations shall be accepted, subject only to the availability of firm capacity at those


FERC Gas Tariff





points and agreement on the rate applicable at the new primary points. If one or more

points are within the applicable zone but outside the path of the original Agreement, then

MEP's generally applicable point change procedures in Section 2.1(d) of these General

Terms and Conditions and the provisions of subsection 6.13(e)(2) shall apply. Any primary

point established under this subsection 6.13(e) which was not a primary point under the

original Agreement and is not reflected in a point change which affects the original

Agreement, will have the same priority and rights as any other primary point, but shall be a

primary point only until the term of the release ends or until that primary point is changed

by Shipper pursuant to the provisions of this Tariff, as applicable. Such an additional

primary point may not be designated if a Shipper is releasing to itself. If firm capacity is

not available at the point or to the point, the Shipper may designate such points (not

overlapping with other segments) in defining a segment, but the points shall have

secondary point priority (either in-path or out-of-path, as applicable).

(2) A Shipper, a Replacement Shipper or a Subreplacement

Shipper may change the primary Receipt or Delivery Point(s) listed in the Agreement to

new primary point(s) subject to the point change provisions of Section 2.1(d) of these

General Terms and Conditions, if the Shipper (or in the case of a release, the Original

Shipper) and MEP agree to amend the Agreement to change the primary Receipt and

Delivery Point(s) accordingly; provided, however, that the consent of the Original Shipper

shall not be required in the case of a permanent release by that Original Shipper of its firm

capacity. MEP shall not be obligated to reserve firm capacity to reinstate the former

primary point(s) upon expiration of the segmentation or the capacity release.

(3) Where a Replacement Shipper selects a primary point

which is outside the primary path under the Releasing Shipper's contract (and thus creates a

new primary path at least partially outside the original primary path), any recall by the

Releasing Shipper will be of capacity which contains the changed primary points, not the

Releasing Shipper's original primary points.







7. DETERMINATION OF DAILY RECEIPTS

7.1 To the extent feasible, all volumes received by MEP at a Receipt Point

shall be allocated in accordance with the confirmed nominations for that point. In the

event the actual volumes received by MEP do not equal the confirmed nominations for

that point, any underage or overage will be allocated as follows:

(a) First, in accordance with the effective predetermined allocations

(PDAs) submitted by those entities (Allocators) owning or controlling the Gas being

delivered to MEP. An OBA may be one type of a PDA. Shipper agrees that such an

allocation is binding on Shipper.

(b) Then, if there is no effective PDA, pro rata to the extent applicable

based on confirmed nominations or transfer nominations, as applicable. Shipper agrees

that such an allocation is binding on Shipper.

7.2 The upstream or downstream party providing the point confirmation

should submit the PDA to the allocating party after or during confirmation and before the

start of the Gas Day, except that no other PDAs need be submitted if an OBA is in effect

at a point. Unless otherwise agreed, all PDAs must be submitted to MEP through MEP's

Interactive Website or through EDI before the start of the Gas Day the PDA is to be

effective. Such PDA shall specify how any underage or overage from the confirmed

nominated volumes should be allocated among the entities listed on the PDA. MEP shall

acknowledge receipt and acceptance of the PDA through MEP's Interactive Website or

EDI if received through MEP's Interactive Website or via EDI if received via EDI. Such

notification of acknowledgment and acceptance will be within fifteen (15) minutes of

receipt via MEP's Interactive Website if received via MEP's Interactive Website or via

EDI if received via EDI. MEP's acceptance is contingent on MEP being able to

administer the allocation submitted by the Allocator. Allocation methodology types upon

which parties may agree are: ranked, pro rata, percentages, swing and operator provided

value. Other examples of allocation methods which can be used are matching of supply

sources with specified customers, and combinations of methodology types. These

allocation methodologies are available for use at all points. Different methods may be

submitted for overages or underages. If the parties cannot agree, Section 7.1(b) shall

apply.


FERC Gas Tariff





7.3 A PDA will be effective as of the date specified thereon (which may not be

earlier than the date on which the PDA is submitted to MEP unless otherwise agreed) and

will continue in effect through the end of the Month unless the Allocator submits a new

PDA that is accepted by MEP. PDAs may be submitted to MEP on any Business Day or

Days during the Month and should be submitted if necessary to reflect any changes in the

Shippers or the allocation method at the point.

7.4 Allocators who submit PDAs should include the operator of the upstream

facilities, the shippers or producers/owners of the Gas being delivered by the upstream

entity, buyers of the Gas who are in turn selling the Gas at that point, and Shippers who are

using more than one transportation Agreement at that point.

7.5 After the end of each Month, MEP shall provide via MEP's Interactive

Website each Allocator who submits effective PDA(s) with a Monthly allocation statement

showing the volumes allocated in accordance with such PDA(s).

7.6 MEP may rely conclusively on effective PDAs in allocating the Gas

received at a point. No retroactive changes to the PDA or to any allocation under a PDA

may be made unless MEP and all affected parties agree.







8. DETERMINATION OF DELIVERIES

8.1 PREDETERMINED ALLOCATIONS

In accounting for the volumes delivered by MEP, in circumstances where

multiple services are provided at any Delivery Point, the sequence of volumes delivered

shall be determined by a predetermined allocation agreement (PDA) between MEP and

the operator of the facilities immediately downstream of the point at which MEP

delivers Gas. An OBA may be one form of a PDA. The upstream or downstream party

providing the point confirmation should submit the PDA to the allocating party after or

during confirmation and before the start of the Gas Day. In the absence of such an

agreement, Section 8.2 shall control. Any new or proposed change to the methodology

should be sent to MEP before the start of the Gas Day on which the methodology is to

be effective. Unless otherwise agreed, MEP shall confirm receipt of the methodology

within fifteen (15) minutes via MEP's Interactive Website if received via MEP's

Interactive Website or via EDI if received via EDI. MEP's acceptance is contingent on

MEP being able to administer the allocation submitted by the Allocator. Allocation

methodology types upon which two parties may agree are: ranked, pro rata,

percentages, swing and operator provided value. Other examples of allocation methods

that can be used are combinations of methodology types. These allocation

methodologies are available for use at all points. Different methods may be submitted

for overages and underages. No retroactive change to the PDA or to any allocation

under a PDA shall be made unless MEP and all affected parties agree.

8.2 DELIVERY SEQUENCE

Unless otherwise agreed and subject to Section 6 of Rate Schedule IBS,

Gas at any Delivery Point shall be deemed to have been delivered in the following

sequence:

(a) Volumes scheduled under firm transportation Agreements

consistent with confirmed nominations and within MDQ;

(b) Authorized Overrun Gas under FTS Agreements consistent with

confirmed nominations and volumes scheduled under Rate Schedules ITS, PALS or IBS

consistent with confirmed nominations and within MDQ; and

(c) Additional volumes shall be allocated pro rata based on confirmed

nominations among Rate Schedules ITS, PALS and IBS Agreements under which

Shippers nominated for that Gas Day.


FERC Gas Tariff





9. OVERRUN AND UNAUTHORIZED GAS CHARGES AND PENALTY REVENUE

9.1 AUTHORIZED OVERRUN CHARGES

If deliveries to a Shipper exceed its MDQ under an Agreement but represent

volumes properly nominated and confirmed, an Authorized Overrun Charge shall apply.

The applicable maximum Authorized Overrun Charge for transportation under Rate

Schedule FTS shall be a maximum Authorized Overrun Rate determined as the 100% load

factor derivative of the maximum reservation and commodity rates, as calculated

separately for Zone 1, Zone 2 and Interim Period Service, respectively. The applicable

maximum Authorized Overrun Rate under Rate Schedule ITS, PALS or IBS shall equal the

maximum rate for Rate Schedule ITS, PALS or IBS (separate rates are set out in this Tariff

for Zone 1, Zone 2 and, in the case of ITS, for Interim Period Service). The maximum

Authorized Overrun Charge under Rate Schedule ITS, PALS or IBS shall equal the

maximum Authorized Overrun Rate multiplied by the number of Dth of the Authorized

Overrun Gas. Such Authorized Overrun Rates may be discounted on a non-discriminatory

basis to any level between zero and the maximum Authorized Overrun Rate or may be

determined pursuant to a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula agreement.

9.2 UNAUTHORIZED GAS CHARGES

In light of Shipper's obligations to remain in balance under Section 10 of these

General Terms and Conditions, to the extent that Receipt Point or Delivery Point

imbalances are not accommodated under an OBA, an Unauthorized Gas Charge set out

herein shall apply to all volumes tendered by or on behalf of Shipper or taken by or on

behalf of Shipper at any Points in excess of confirmed nominations, under any Agreement

("unauthorized overrun"). Swings accommodated under an OBA shall not be subject to a

charge under this provision. If an Unauthorized Gas Charge applies, the Shipper shall pay

MEP an Unauthorized Gas Charge equal to the volume of the Gas the Shipper delivered in

excess of confirmed nominations multiplied by the Unauthorized Gas Rate. The maximum

Unauthorized Gas Rate is the greater of $10 or 2 times DIP; provided, however, that the

Unauthorized Gas Charge may be discounted to any level between zero and this maximum

rate or may be determined pursuant to a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula

agreement. Any Unauthorized Gas Charge shall be waived by MEP if the unauthorized

overrun does not cause operational problems.


FERC Gas Tariff





9.3 PENALTY REVENUE

Except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section 9.3, all amounts

collected by MEP for penalties, commencing with the Commencement Date, shall be

determined for each annual period ending December 31 and distributed, through a credit to

current billings wherever feasible, within ninety (90) days after each December 31 (the

initial period shall be the partial annual period commencing with the Commencement Date

and ending on the ensuing December 31). For purposes of this subsection, penalties shall

include Unauthorized Gas Charges, Balancing Service Charges and charges for failure to

comply with an Operational Flow Order (including during a Critical Time). Such

distribution shall be made as follows:

(a) These amounts shall be used first to compensate MEP for any

cashout expenses and for any extraordinary out-of-pocket costs it has incurred (including

any compensation MEP agreed to provide for voluntary actions) to alleviate the conditions

created by the violation or which resulted in the issuance of an Operational Flow Order or

the declaration of Critical Time or other operational action taken by MEP under Section 31

of these General Terms and Conditions. Costs that may be netted against penalty revenue

may include only actual, verifiable and prudent incremental costs incurred to resolve the

reliability concerns actually caused by the particular party or parties against which the

penalty has been assessed and must relate to a circumstance which resulted in the penalty

revenue to be credited under this provision. If these amounts are not adequate to reimburse

MEP for its expenses, such unreimbursed expenses shall be carried forward to future

annual periods until recouped.

(b) (1) Any remaining amounts will be refunded pro rata to all

Shippers, except as provided below, through a credit to current billing wherever feasible,

based on each Shipper's total of the MDQs for Zone 1 and for Zone 2 under FTS

Agreements, plus nominated and confirmed volumes under Rate Schedule ITS, plus the

volume of gas parked or loaned each month under each PALS Agreement, and the

confirmed daily access request volume for Rate Schedule IBS in total for Zone 1 and for

Zone 2 (relative to the total of such volumes for all Shippers); provided, however, that

such calculation shall exclude volumes for any Shipper during any Month in which such

Shipper incurred Unauthorized Gas Charges and/or failed to comply with an Operational






Flow Order. In the event that for any Month, no penalty revenues are distributed because

all Shippers failed to comply with Operational Flow Orders that Month, then the amount of

penalty revenue for that Month may be held by MEP for application under Section 9.3(a)

for a period of up to two (2) years, at which time that amount will be included in the

amounts for distribution in the then current annual period to the extent not offset by costs

under Section 9.3(a). The refunds in the prior sentence shall be calculated on a Monthly

basis but distribution of the credit shall be annual. If the costs to be netted against penalty

revenue exceed the penalty revenue in any Month, the excess costs may be carried forward

to be applied against penalty revenue in subsequent Months. Thus, while distribution is

made annually, the net penalty revenue credit shall be calculated on a Monthly basis,

subject to the carry forward of costs as stated in the prior sentence. A Shipper which

incurred Unauthorized Gas Charges or which failed to comply with an Operational Flow

Order shall be excluded from distribution of net penalty revenues only for the Month in

which that violation occurred.

(2) Where capacity has been released, any amounts distributed

to the Original Shipper and the calculation and amounts distributed to the Original Shipper

shall be based on the MDQ and flowing volumes of Gas for that Shipper (without

considering any contracts of Replacement Shippers) during the relevant annual period;

provided, however, that in the case of a permanent release, any amounts distributed

hereunder with respect to the released capacity shall be distributed to the Replacement

Shipper and the calculation and the amounts distributed to the Replacement Shipper shall

be based on the MDQ and flowing volume for that Replacement Shipper during the

relevant annual period. MEP shall file with the Commission a refund report for each

annual distribution of penalty revenue under this subsection.

(c) Penalty revenue associated with the Leased Capacity Charges shall

not be subject to this Section 9.3 or included in any calculation hereunder because such

revenue is all passed on by MEP to Enable Oklahoma.


FERC Gas Tariff





10. IMBALANCES AND SCHEDULING CHARGES

10.1 RESPONSIBILITY FOR BALANCING

Shippers are obligated to deliver and receive Gas in conformance with

their confirmed nominations. MEP will attempt to enter into OBAs which deal with

imbalances. If an OBA is not feasible or the imbalance is beyond the terms of the OBA,

however, Shippers are also responsible for conforming their takes at Delivery Points with

their deliveries to MEP at Receipt Points each Day. MEP has no obligation to deliver for

the account of a Shipper more volumes of Gas than MEP has received for the account of

the Shipper or to accept for the account of the Shipper more volumes of Gas than are

being delivered for the account of the Shipper on any Day.

10.2 NETTING AND TRADING OF IMBALANCES

At the end of each calendar Month, to the extent the net receipts (with the

appropriate deductions for the applicable Fuel Gas and Unaccounted For Gas) do not

equal deliveries under an Agreement on a Dth basis [such imbalances shall be separately

determined by Operational Impact Area as defined in Section 10.4(d) hereof] and for

imbalances that may be created at a point level in specific Operational Impact Areas due

to the differences between the nominated and or confirmed and allocated activity, but may

offset at the contract level, the following netting and trading procedures will apply

(imbalances on the Leased Capacity will be determined separately with appropriate

deductions for fuel and unaccounted for gas applicable to the Leased Capacity):

(a) Imbalances under a Shipper's different Agreements will then be

netted together for each Operational Impact Area to obtain the Shipper's aggregate

imbalance for each Operational Impact Area, which will be either an Overage Imbalance

or an Underage Imbalance as defined in Section 10.4 hereof. Netting must be done within

the Operational Impact Areas defined in Section 10.4(d) of these General Terms and

Conditions. Shippers may only decrease their Overage and Underage Imbalances through

trading and must do so within the Operational Impact Area where the imbalance exists.

(b) To assist Shippers in arranging trades, MEP will post on its

Interactive Website the Total aggregate Imbalance by Operational Impact Area of any

Shipper which has notified MEP that it has elected to have such information posted.


FERC Gas Tariff





Notification by the Shipper may be in writing or on MEP's Interactive Website and shall be

effective by 8:00 a.m. on the next Business Day (Central Clock Time) if the notification is

received by 11:45 a.m. on a Business Day. Imbalance information authorized for posting

through such notification shall be posted no later than the ninth Business Day of the Month

after the imbalance occurred. Shippers shall have the ability to post and trade imbalances

until the seventeenth Business Day of the Month after the imbalance occurred; provided,

however, that imbalances can only be traded within the Operational Impact Areas defined

in Section 10.4(d) of these General Terms and Conditions.

(c) MEP shall enable the imbalance trading process via its Interactive

Web Site or other mutually agreeable electronic means by:

(1) Receiving the Request for Imbalance Trade,

(2) Receiving the Imbalance Trade Confirmation,

(3) Sending the Imbalance Trade Notification, and

(4) Reflecting the trade prior to or on the next Monthly Shipper

Total Aggregate Imbalance or cashout.

(d) Imbalance trades can only be withdrawn by the initiating trader and

only prior to the confirming trader's confirmation of the trade. Imbalance trades are

considered final when confirmed by the confirming trader and effectuated by MEP.

(e) After receipt of an Imbalance Trade Confirmation, MEP shall,

upon review and approval, effectuate the Imbalance Trade Notification to the initiating

trader and the confirming trader no later than noon (Central Clock Time) the next Business

Day.

(f) All trade requests for trades and accommodations will be initiated

via Interactive Website or other mutually agreeable electronic means.

(g) Subject to Section 10.3 below, any Shipper imbalance remaining

after the netting and trading process will be cashed out each Month by Operational Impact

Area pursuant to Section 10.4.


FERC Gas Tariff





10.3 SCHEDULING AND SEQUENCE OF ACTIONS

In rectifying imbalances which jeopardize MEP's ability to provide firm

service, MEP shall first attempt to control imbalances through the scheduling process.

MEP shall coordinate with the Shipper and with upstream and downstream entities to

assure that the volume of Gas delivered to Shipper or for its account and the volume of Gas

physically received by MEP for Shipper are in close balance. In addition, Shipper may

nominate quantities of Gas on any Day during the month to rectify an imbalance, subject to

MEP's scheduling and curtailment provisions, and any operational considerations that may

otherwise limit the amount of Gas that MEP may receive or deliver on such Day as

payback volumes for such imbalance. In such event, MEP shall have the right, via the

confirmation process, to reduce all or a portion of such nominated payback volumes. If

further action is required to control imbalances, MEP may adjust nominations upon notice

to Shipper and otherwise take actions as specified in the remainder of this Section 10. If

Shipper is unavailable, adjustments will be made pursuant to a Shipper provided ranking or

pro-rata if a Shipper provided ranking is not available. MEP may also utilize Operational

Control measures under Section 31 of these General Terms and Conditions to control

imbalances to the extent consistent with Section 31. MEP will provide prior notice of any

action taken under Section 31 of these General Terms and Conditions, consistent with the

provisions of Section 31.

10.4 CASHOUT PROCEDURES

(a) Definitions

(1) Operational Impact Area - "Operational Impact Area" shall

mean any one of the four geographical locations of MEP's system defined in Section

10.4(d) hereof, which shall be used for purposes of netting, trading, and cashing out of

imbalances.

(2) Overage Imbalance - "Overage Imbalance" shall mean that

excess receipts under an Agreement are owed to Shipper by MEP.

(3) Overage Average Monthly Index Price - "Overage Average

Monthly Index Price" or "OAMIP" shall mean the volume-weighted average of the

applicable monthly index prices used in determining cashout amounts to resolve Overage

Imbalances, as provided in this Section 10.4.


FERC Gas Tariff





(4) Underage Imbalance - "Underage Imbalance" shall mean

that excess deliveries under an Agreement are due from Shipper to MEP.

(5) Underage Average Monthly Index Price - "Underage

Average Monthly Index Price" or "UAMIP") shall mean the volume-weighted average of the

applicable monthly index prices used in determining cashout amounts to resolve Underage

Imbalances, as provided in this Section 10.4.

(b) Any Overage and/or Underage Imbalances remaining after trading

of Imbalances will be cashed out on a tiered basis pursuant to the following schedule, unless

other means of disposition are mutually agreed between MEP and Shipper:

Overage Underage

(MEP Pays (Shipper

Imbalance Level Shipper) MEP)

0% to 5% 100% x OAMIP 100% x UAMIP

Greater than 5% to 10% 90% x OAMIP 110% x UAMIP



Greater than 20% 60% x OAMIP 140% x UAMIP

A Shipper's remaining Overage and/or Underage Imbalances will

be cashed out based on the percentage of the respective Overage or Underage Imbalance,

as applicable, compared to the total allocated receipts for that Shipper during the Month.

An Overage Imbalance will be cashed out at the Overage Average Monthly Index Price,

and an Underage Imbalance will be cashed out at the Underage Average Monthly Index

Price, as defined in Section 10.4(g) and Section 10.4(h) hereof, respectively. For example,

if the total allocated receipts were 1,000 Dth and the remaining Underage Imbalance after

offsetting with other Shippers was 100 Dth, the total Imbalance Level would be 10%. The

first 5% (50 Dth) would be cashed out at 100% of the UAMIP and the remaining 50 Dth

would be cashed out at 110% of the UAMIP.






(c) The Monthly Index Price (MIP) is based on the applicable Average

Weekly Index Price (AWIP). MEP shall use either the highest AWIP or the lowest AWIP

determined for each Month as the MIP for all monthly Imbalances subject to cashout

hereunder, as described below. The AWIPs to be used in determining each Month's

highest AWIP and lowest AWIP shall include the AWIPs for the Seven Day Periods prior

to each Monday within the calendar month in which the Imbalance occurred, plus the

AWIP for the next Seven Day Period.

(1) For Gas owed MEP (Underage Imbalances), the MIP shall

be the highest of the AWIPs for the applicable location indicated below for the Month in

which the Imbalance occurred.

(2) For Gas owed Shipper (Overage Imbalances), the MIP shall

be the lowest of the AWIPs for the applicable location indicated below for the Month in

which the Imbalance occurred.

(d) Trading and cashout of imbalances shall be implemented within

Operational Impact Areas (OIAs). There are four Operational Impact Areas on the MEP

System. OIA-1 is defined as the Interconnection of MEP or MarkWest and Enable

Oklahoma and uses the NGPL Midcontinent Index Price. The following defines the

geographical boundaries of the remaining Operational Impact Areas and the price index

utilized for each area for determination of cashout prices:






West of and

East of Including Index

OIA-2 Interconnection Interconnection of NGPL TexOk

of MEP and Enable Oklahoma MEP and NGPL

OIA-3 Interconnection Interconnection of Columbia Gulf Mainline

of MEP and NGPL MEP and Col. Gulf

OIA-4 Interconnection Interconnection of Transco Zone 4

of MEP and Col. Gulf MEP and Transco

(e) Following the period for netting, offsetting, buying and/or selling

Imbalances, Shippers with remaining imbalances shall pay MEP or will be credited with

the appropriate cashout amounts, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by MEP.

(f) In each instance when a Shipper(s) must cashout its remaining

imbalances in any Operational Impact Area, MEP shall have the right to review the

circumstances surrounding such remaining Imbalance and, in its judgment, waive all or a

portion of the cashout amount. Any such waiver shall be granted on a non-discriminatory

basis to all Shippers from whom cashout amounts were collected in that instance.

(g) The Overage Average Monthly Index Price (OAMIP) is a volume-

weighted average of the applicable MIPs for the four Operational Impact Areas. For

purposes of this calculation, the volume used for each Operational Impact Area shall be the

net Overage Imbalance for that Operational Impact Area.

(h) The Underage Average Monthly Index Price (UAMIP) is a

volume-weighted average of the applicable MIPs for the four Operational Impact Areas.

For purposes of this calculation, the volume used for each Operational Impact Area shall

be the net Underage Imbalance for that Operational Impact Area.


FERC Gas Tariff





10.5 DETERMINING IMBALANCES OR CASHOUT

(a) OPERATIONAL DATA VS. ACTUALS

In determining the cashout tiers applicable under Section 10.4

above, MEP will utilize the operational data posted on Transporter's Interactive Website as

of the end of the Month or the actual flow volumes, whichever results in a lower cost

impact to Shipper.

(b) PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS

Any imbalances for a Month that are booked after the

transportation for that Month has been billed will be cashed out at 100% of the applicable

OAMIP or UAMIP in effect during the Month the Imbalance occurred.

10.6 PURCHASE AND SALE OF GAS

(a) MEP is not providing a supply service under any Rate Schedule of

this Tariff. Nevertheless, without limitation of the foregoing, MEP may buy and sell Gas

to the extent necessary to maintain System pressure, to balance the system as necessary to

assure MEP's ability to perform and to continuing performing firm service, to implement

the cashout procedures under this Section 10 and to perform other functions in connection

with providing transportation service and operating its transmission System. The point of

any such sale shall occur at existing Receipt or Delivery Points on the MEP System or at a

Pooling Point. Such sales shall be authorized pursuant to MEP's blanket sales certificate.

Nothing herein shall impose on MEP any obligation to provide a supply function to any of

its Shippers. In any such instance, on the next Monthly invoice, MEP will reflect the

purchase and sales amounts as an additional charge or credit, as applicable. The amounts

reflected shall be supported by information which shows that the price was reasonably

consistent with one or more price indices commonly utilized in the industry for the area,

such as those used to determine DIP, or by a detailed explanation as to why the available

indices were not appropriate under the circumstances.


FERC Gas Tariff





(b) Operational Purchases and Sales

(1) Except in the situations outlined in subsection (2) below,

MEP will post its operational purchases and sales quantities for bidding on its interactive

website in accordance with the applicable bidding provisions which shall be posted at the

time of the purchase or sale, or some other trading platform such as the Intercontinental

Exchange (ICE). MEP reserves the right, in its sole discretion to:

(i) withdraw its postings at any time;

(ii) reject all bids due to operational changes; and

(iii) reject any bids which do not meet or which contain

modifications to the terms of the posting or which contain terms that are operationally

unacceptable.

(2) MEP will not be required to post operational purchases and

sales quantities for bidding if MEP has declared a Critical Time or if such purchases and

sales were necessary to avoid the Critical Time.

(c) MEP will file an annual report on operational purchases and sales

which will indicate the source of the gas, date of the purchase/sale, volumes, purchase/sale

price, costs and revenues from the purchase/sale, and the disposition of the costs and

revenues. The report will be filed within 90 days of the end of each calendar year.

10.7 THIRD PARTY BALANCING

At any time during the term of its firm Agreement(s) on MEP, a firm

Shipper may request that MEP enter into a Third Party Balancing Agreement. A Third

Party Balancing Agreement is a contract executed by MEP, the firm Shipper and one or

more third parties which agree to manage imbalances of that Shipper under specified firm

Agreement(s) on MEP. MEP will enter into a Third Party Balancing Agreement, subject to

the following conditions:

(a) The third party provider(s) is responsible for obtaining all

necessary regulatory approvals of any service (certification, approval of tariffs,

establishment of rates, etc.) which is being relied upon to perform the imbalance

management;


FERC Gas Tariff





(b) The Third Party Balancing Agreement must be executed by MEP,

the firm Shipper and any third party performing imbalance management. The Third Party

Balancing Agreement must allow the third party imbalance management to be integrated

into MEP's operations.

(1) MEP must have the right to call on the third party

provider(s) for the agreed imbalance management on short notice, within defined

parameters, to effectuate necessary operational changes.

(2) MEP must be given timely notice of the nature and level of

the imbalance management being provided by the third party provider(s) pursuant to the

Third Party Balancing Agreement on any Day.

(3) The Third Party Balancing Agreement must: (i) define the

operational changes the third party provider(s) will effectuate to offset the operational

effects on MEP of imbalances at points on the System covered by the Third Party

Balancing Agreement; and (ii) identify the resources or services which the third party

provider(s) will utilize to implement such changes.

(4) Any third party providing imbalance management must be

able to deliver or receive Gas, as applicable, at the prevailing operating pressure on MEP's

System at the relevant point(s) and the Third Party Balancing Agreement must so specify.

(5) Unless otherwise agreed, any imbalance to be covered by a

Third Party Management Agreement shall reside at the point of interconnection between

MEP and the entity providing the imbalance management service.

(c) The Third Party Balancing Agreement shall specify the

Agreements and the points to be balanced and must set out the Agreement of the parties as

to how imbalances are to be allocated to and accounted for at the point(s) covered by the

Third Party Balancing Agreement and any limitations on the level of imbalances to be

managed under the Third Party Balancing Agreement.

(d) (1) The physical facilities or resources of the third party

provider(s) (or used by such third party or parties) to perform the imbalance management

must be capable of supporting the operational effects necessary to perform imbalance

management, which may require almost instantaneous operational changes on MEP.


FERC Gas Tariff





(2) Bi-directional flow must be available at the Delivery and/or

Receipt Points involved.

(3) The third party provider(s) must have the ability to get Gas

onto or off of MEP's System in order to effectuate a true physical balancing.

(4) The Shipper or third party provider(s) may utilize services

on another entity to perform imbalance management so long as all conditions of this

Section 10.7 are satisfied; provided, however, that if any such entity is relying on facilities

or resources it does not own or control, the entity which does own or control those facilities

or resources must become a party to the Third Party Balancing Agreement.

(e) If MEP is required to backstop the third party service provider(s),

either by agreement or because the imbalance management services specified by the Third

Party Balancing Agreement are not performed, MEP must be authorized to assess charges

and penalties against Shipper, the third party provider(s), or both, and the Third Party

Balancing Agreement shall so provide.

(f) The Third Party Balancing Agreement will terminate if the Shipper

no longer has service on MEP under the Agreements specified in the Third Party Balancing

Agreement.

10.8 BALANCING SERVICE CHARGES

(a) During periods when a Critical Time or an Operational Flow Order

is not in effect, Balancing Service Charges apply as set out in this subsection (a); provided

that such charges shall not apply to Leased Capacity.

(1) If the volumes allocated to any FTS or ITS Agreement fail

to equal the confirmed nomination under such Agreement or if volumes allocated to any

IBS or PALS Agreement are inconsistent with confirmed nominations and/or available




Issued On: November 6, 2019 Effective On: January 1, 2020


rights, as applicable, the following Balancing Service Charges shall apply, subject to the

availability of balancing service under Rate Schedule IBS consistent with its terms, based

on the degree of variance between actual deliveries, and Shipper's rights and/or confirmed

nominations (no charge hereunder shall apply for variances at Receipt Points):

Variance Charge

0% to 5% No additional charges

5% to 10% $0.10/Dth

10% to 20% $0.20/Dth

20% to 50% $0.30/Dth

Above 50% $0.50/Dth

Regarding the above Balancing Service Charges, no such charges shall apply as long as the

variance is less than 100 Dth.

(2) Tiered Balancing Service Charges under this Section 10.8

shall be applied on a graduated basis, i.e., the specified charge shall apply only to that

portion of the variance which is within the corresponding tier between its lower and upper

percentage boundaries (variances within a range greater than the lower boundary and equal

to or less than the upper boundary) and not to any portion of the variance falling within

other tiers.

(b) On any day when an Operational Flow Order (but not a Critical

Time) is in effect, if actual receipts or deliveries allocated to a Shipper at any point or

under any Agreement do not conform to such Shipper's confirmed nominations applicable

to such point and/or Agreement, Balancing Service Charges will be assessed on such

variances that are detrimental to MEP's system, based on the conditions described in or

giving rise to the Operational Flow Order; provided, however, that such charges shall not

apply with respect to Leased Capacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Balancing Service

Charges shall not be assessed for variance at Receipt Points unless explicitly stated in the

Operational Flow Order. The Operational Flow Order shall also state whether the charges

are to be based on variances at individual points, by zone or by other aggregation. Where

Balancing Service Charges apply under this subsection (b), they shall be in lieu of

Balancing Service Charges under subsection (a). Balancing Service Charges during this

period will be as follows, based on the variance between actual receipts or deliveries and

the applicable confirmed nominations.


FERC Gas Tariff





Variance Charge

0% to 3% No additional charges

3% to 10% Greater of $1.00/Dth or 50% of DIP

10% to 20% Greater of $2.00/Dth or 1 times DIP


Above 50% Greater of $8.00/Dth or 4 times DIP

(c) On any day when a Critical Time is in effect, if actual receipts or

actual deliveries allocated to Shipper at any point or under any Agreement do not conform

to confirmed nominated volumes and rights applicable to such point or Agreement,

Balancing Service Charges will be assessed for the variances that are to the detriment of

MEP's system; provided, however, that such charges do not apply with respect to Leased

Capacity. Charges hereunder shall be in lieu of any otherwise applicable Balancing

Service Charges under subsections (a) and (b). The Balancing Service Charges in effect

during a Critical Time will be as follows:

Variance Charge





Above 50% Greater of $200.00/Dth or 100 times DIP

Any imbalance created during a Critical Time that is not eliminated before the end of the

month will be subject to the cashout provisions of Section 10.4; provided, however, that

any remaining imbalance created during a Critical Time which helped the System will be

cashed out at 100% of the OAMIP or UAMIP used for calculating Underage or Overage

Imbalances, as applicable, for the Operational Impact Area in which the imbalance

occurred.

(d) MEP may discount or waive any charges under this Section 10.8 on

a basis which is not unduly discriminatory.


FERC Gas Tariff





11. STATEMENTS, BILLING, PAYMENT AND DISCOUNTING POLICY

11.1 STATEMENT AND INVOICES

MEP shall, on or before the ninth (9th) Business Day of each Month,

render to Shipper a bill or bills for service under each applicable Rate Schedule during the

preceding Month. As used in this Section 11, "render" is defined as transmitted

electronically to the designated site unless electronic communication is unavailable, in

which case bills will be sent by mail. Invoices will be based on actuals (if available) or

best available data. Quantities at points where OBAs exist will be invoiced based on

scheduled quantities.

11.2 SHIPPER INFORMATION

If information is required from Shipper, or its designee, to actualize

volumes or allocations, Shipper shall furnish the required information, or cause it to be

furnished, to MEP, on or before the tenth (10th) day of each Month.

11.3 IMBALANCE STATEMENT

Imbalance statements will be generated at the same time or prior to the

generation of the invoice. Prior to or with the above-required invoice for billing, MEP

shall render the Gas imbalance statement which details in Dth, by Operational Impact

Area, the Gas received and delivered each Month at the Receipt and Delivery Point(s)

based on the best information available.

11.4 PAYMENT

Shipper shall pay to MEP by wire transfer to a bank designated by MEP,

the amount due MEP for services provided pursuant to an Agreement during the

appropriate calendar Month as reflected in the billing described above, within ten (10)

calendar days after the date of receipt of such billing. For purposes of this Section, the bill

is deemed to be received by Shipper on the date sent to Shipper's designated site if sent by

EDI or by e-mail, or three (3) days after the postmark date if sent by mail. The invoice

number should be identified on all payments and the Shipper should submit supporting

documentation identifying what is being paid.







MEP shall apply payment per such supporting documentation. If payment

differs from the invoiced amount, remittance detail should be provided with the payment

except when payment is made by electronic funds transfer in which case the remittance

detail is due within two (2) Business Days of the payment due date. Should Shipper fail to

pay any undisputed portion of any bill as herein provided when such amount is due,

interest on the unpaid portion of the bill shall accrue at the maximum allowable interest

permitted under the Commission's Regulations. For any amount to be considered

"disputed," Shipper must provide appropriate documentation supporting and identifying the

basis for the dispute. If Shipper fails to make payment in accordance with this Section,

MEP may, in addition to any other remedy it may have under this Tariff or under

commercial law: (a) suspend deliveries or terminate service as provided in Sections 2.8 or

12.2 of these General Terms and Conditions; and (b) offset such deficient payments against

any payments, refunds or credits owed by MEP to Shipper.

11.5 ADJUSTMENT OF ERRORS

(a) The time limitation for notifying MEP of any dispute relating to

billing including disputes regarding allocations, shall be six (6) Months from the date the

bill is received with a three (3) Month rebuttal period. This time period shall also apply to

any adjustments by MEP in billings. This standard shall not apply in the case of deliberate

omission or misrepresentation or mutual mistake of fact. Parties’ other statutory or

contractual rights shall not otherwise be diminished. Mutual agreement between parties,

legal decisions, and regulatory guidance may be necessary to determine if the event

qualifies for an extension of the above time periods.

(b) Any error discovered as a result of a timely claim shall be corrected

within thirty (30) days of the determination thereof. Parties' other statutory or contractual

rights shall not otherwise be diminished by this standard. However, in no event will any

changes be made after twenty-four (24) Months from the date of statements, billings or

payment, based on actualized volumes, unless the parties mutually agree.


FERC Gas Tariff





11.6 DISCOUNTING POLICY FOR RATES AND CHARGES

MEP reserves the right to provide, by contract with any Shipper, for

adjustment at any time of the rates for service to a level below the maximum rates

applicable to such service, as stated in this Tariff, but (except as permitted under Section

30 of these General Terms and Conditions) no less than the minimum rates as applicable to

such service, as stated in this Tariff. To the extent MEP agrees to a discount of any

reservation rates and reservation surcharges for firm transportation service, the discount

will be apportioned first to the base reservation rate, and second, if the discount is greater

than such base reservation rate, to any applicable reservation surcharge. To the extent MEP

agrees to discount any commodity rates and commodity surcharges for firm transportation

service, the discount will be apportioned first to the base commodity rate, and second, if

the discount is greater than such base commodity rate, to the commodity surcharge. To the

extent MEP agrees to a discount of any commodity rates and commodity surcharges for

interruptible transportation service, the discount will be apportioned first to the base

commodity rate, and second, if the discount is greater than such base commodity rate, to

any applicable commodity surcharge. Nothing herein will require MEP to agree to any

discount. Discounting is governed by Section 34 of these General Terms and Conditions.


FERC Gas Tariff





12. EVALUATION OF CREDIT

12.1 In evaluating requests for service and for certain other purposes under this

Tariff, including Sections 2.8 and 12.2 of these General Terms and Conditions, MEP will

perform a credit appraisal of Shipper.

(a) Acceptance of a Shipper's request for service and the continuation

of service are contingent upon the Shipper satisfying creditworthiness requirement on an

on-going basis. MEP's credit appraisal procedures involve the establishment of dollar

credit limits on a standardized, nondiscriminatory basis. To the extent that a Shipper's

accounts with MEP do not exceed such limit, and Shipper has met all creditworthiness

requirements as determined in periodic credit reviews by MEP, which reviews may be

conducted on at least an annual basis, new credit appraisals may be required when an

existing Agreement is amended or a request for a new Agreement is made, subject to the

provisions of Section 2.8 and 12.2 of these General Terms and Conditions. To determine

creditworthiness, a credit appraisal shall be performed in accordance with the following

criteria:

(1) MEP shall apply consistent evaluation practices to all

similarly situated Shippers to determine the Shipper's financial ability to perform the

payment of obligations due to MEP over the term of the requested or existing

Agreement(s). The creditworthiness requirements of this Section 12 shall apply to any

assignment (in whole or in part) of any Agreement or any release of an Agreement.

(2) A Shipper will be deemed creditworthy if (i) its long-term

unsecured debt securities are rated at least BBB- by Standard & Poor's Corporation

("S&P") and at least Baa3 by Moody's Investor Service ("Moody's") (provided, however,

that if the Shipper's rating is at BBB- or Baa3 and the short-term or long-term outlook is

Negative, MEP may require further analysis as discussed below); and (ii) the sum of

reservation fees, commodity fees and any other associated fees and charges for the

contract term is less than 15% of Shipper's tangible net worth. In the event Shipper is


FERC Gas Tariff





rated by both S&P and Moody's, the lower rating applies. For the purposes of this Section

12, the term "tangible net worth" shall mean for a corporation the sum of the capital stock,

paid-in capital in excess of par or stated value, and other free and clear equity reserve

accounts less goodwill, patents, unamortized loan costs or restructuring costs, and other

intangible assets. Only actual tangible assets are included in MEP's assessment of

creditworthiness. In comparing the overall value of a Shipper's contract to tangible net

worth for credit evaluation purposes, MEP will compare the net present value of the

demand or reservation charge obligations under such contracts to Shipper's current tangible

net worth. If a Shipper has multiple service agreements with MEP, then the total potential

fees and charges of all such service agreements shall be considered in determining

creditworthiness.

(3) If Shipper does not meet the criteria described above, then

Shipper may request that MEP evaluate its creditworthiness based upon the level of service

requested relative to the Shipper's current and future ability to meet its obligations.

Such credit appraisal shall be based upon MEP's evaluation of the following information

and credit criteria:

(i) S&P and Moody's opinions, watch alerts, and rating

actions and reports, rating, opinions and other actions by Dun and Bradstreet and other

credit reporting agencies will be considered in determining creditworthiness.

(ii) Consistent financial statement analysis will be

applied by MEP to determine the acceptability of Shipper's current and future financial

strength. Shipper's balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements and auditor's

notes will be analyzed along with key ratios and trends regarding liquidity, asset

management, debt management, debt coverage, capital structure, operational efficiency and

profitability.

(iii) Results of bank and trade reference checks and

credit reports must demonstrate that a Shipper is paying its obligations in a timely manner.


FERC Gas Tariff





(iv) Shipper must not be operating under any chapter of

the bankruptcy laws and must not be subject to liquidation or debt reduction procedures

under state laws and there must not be pending any petition for involuntary bankruptcy. An

exception may be made for a Shipper who is a debtor in possession operating under

Chapter XI of the Federal Bankruptcy Act if MEP is assured that the service billing will be

paid promptly as a cost of administration under the federal court's jurisdiction, based on a

court order in effect, and if the Shipper is continuing and continues in the future actually to

make payment.

(v) Whether Shipper is subject to any lawsuits or

judgments outstanding which could materially impact its ability to remain solvent.

(vi) Whether Shipper has or has had any delinquent

balances outstanding for services provided previously by MEP and whether Shipper is

paying and has paid its account balances according to the terms established in its

Agreements (excluding amounts as to which there is a good faith dispute).

(vii) The nature of the Shipper's business and the effect

on that business of general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to it,

including Shipper's ability to recover the costs of MEP's services through filings with

regulatory agencies or otherwise to pass on such costs to its customers.

(viii) Any other information, including any information

provided by Shipper, that is relevant to Shipper's current and future financial strength and

Shipper's ability to make full payment over the term of the contract.

(4) Information which MEP may request to be provided by

Shipper to MEP in connection with such a credit evaluation includes the following:

(i) Audited Financial Statements;

(ii) Annual Report;


FERC Gas Tariff





(iii) Most recent filed statements with the Securities

and Exchange Commission (or an equivalent authority) or other similar publicly available

information;

(iv) For public entities, the most recent publicly

available interim financial statements, with an attestation by its Chief Financial Officer,

Controller, or equivalent (CFO) that such statements constitute a true, correct, and fair

representation of the Shipper's financial condition prepared in accordance with Generally

Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or equivalent;

(v) For non-public entities, including those that are

state-regulated utilities, the most recent available interim financial statements, with an

attestation by its CFO that such statements constitute a true, correct, and fair representation

of the Shipper's financial condition prepared in accordance with GAAP or equivalent;

(vi) For non-public entities, including those that are

state-regulated utilities, an existing sworn filing, including the most recent available

interim financial statements and annual financial reports filed with the respective

regulatory authority, showing the Shipper's current financial condition;

(vii) For state-regulated utility local distribution

companies, documentation from their respective state regulatory commission (or an

equivalent authority) of an authorized Gas supply cost recovery mechanism;

(viii) List of affiliates, parent companies, and

subsidiaries;

(ix) Publicly available credit reports from credit and

bond rating agencies;

(x) Private credit ratings, if obtained by the Shipper;

(xi) Bank references;

(xii) Trade references;


FERC Gas Tariff





(xiii) Statement of legal composition; and

(xiv) Statement of the length of time the business has

been in operation.

(5) Upon receipt of any request from MEP for information to

be used for creditworthiness evaluation, the Shipper's authorized representative(s) shall

acknowledge receipt of MEP's request; provided, however, that MEP and the Shipper may

mutually agree to waive this requirement. The Shipper's authorized representative(s) shall

respond to MEP's request for credit information as allowed by this Tariff, on or before the

due date specified in the request. The Shipper shall provide all the credit information

requested by MEP or provide the reason(s) why any of the requested information was not

provided. Upon receipt from the Shipper of all credit information provided pursuant to this

Section 12, MEP shall notify the Shipper's authorized representative(s) that it has received

such information; provided, however, that MEP and the Shipper may mutually agree to

waive this requirement. The Shipper shall designate up to two representatives who are

authorized to receive notices regarding the Shipper's creditworthiness, including requests

for additional information, pursuant to this Section 12.1 and to provide to MEP the Internet

e-mail address of such representatives prior to the initiation of service. Written requests

and responses shall be provided via Internet E-mail, unless otherwise agreed to by the

parties. In complying with the creditworthiness related notifications pursuant to this

Section 12.1, the Shipper and MEP may mutually agree to other forms of communication

in lieu of Internet E-mail notification. The obligation of MEP to provide creditworthiness

notifications is waived until the above requirement has been met. The Shipper is to manage

internal distribution of any creditworthiness notices that are received. MEP shall designate,

on its Interactive Website or in written notices to the Shipper, the Internet e-mail address of

up to two representatives who are authorized to receive notices regarding the Shipper's

creditworthiness. The Shipper's obligation to provide confirmation of receipt is met by

sending such confirmation to such representatives and MEP is to manage internal

distribution of any such confirmations. The provisions of this paragraph relating to

representatives and notification also apply to any notice related to creditworthiness under

Section 2.8, 12.2, or 14.1 of these General Terms and Conditions.


FERC Gas Tariff





(6) If MEP concludes that a Shipper is non-creditworthy, MEP

shall provide written notice to Shipper within ten (10) days after that determination is

made. If requested by Shipper, MEP shall provide a written explanation of the reasons for

this determination. A Shipper may challenge MEP's determination by providing a written

rebuttal to MEP's explanation within ten (10) days after the explanation is provided by

MEP. MEP shall respond to such a rebuttal in writing within ten (10) days. Any

reevaluation of credit by MEP in response to such a rebuttal by the Shipper shall be based

on the credit criteria set out in this Section 12.1(a) and shall be performed as provided in

Section 12.2 of these General Terms and Conditions.

(b) (1) If a Shipper fails to satisfy the credit criteria, such Shipper

may still obtain or continue service hereunder if Shipper, at its sole discretion, provides the

security required under one of the following options:

(i) payment in advance for all fees and charges for

twelve (12) Months of service for those Shippers subscribing to capacity prior to the

pipeline being in service and for three (3) months for those Shippers subscribing to

capacity after the pipeline is in service, except to the extent otherwise agreed, plus a

reasonable amount for the value of imbalance gas and (in the case of Rate Schedule PALS)

for the value of loaned gas;

(ii) a standby irrevocable letter of credit covering all

such amounts for twelve (12) Months of service for those Shippers subscribing to capacity

prior to the pipeline being in service and for three (3) months for those Shippers

subscribing to capacity after the pipeline is in service drawn upon a bank acceptable to

MEP, except to the extent otherwise agreed;

(iii) security interest covering all such amounts for

twelve (12) Months of service for those Shippers subscribing to capacity prior to the

pipeline being in service and for three (3) months for those Shippers subscribing to

capacity after the pipeline is in service in collateral provided by the Shipper found to be

satisfactory to MEP, except to the extent otherwise agreed;







(iv) guarantee of all such amounts for twelve (12) Months of

service for those Shippers subscribing to capacity prior to the pipeline being in service and

for three (3) months for those Shippers subscribing to capacity after the pipeline is in

service by a person or another entity which does satisfy the credit appraisal, except to the

extent otherwise agreed; or

(v) other security acceptable to MEP.

(2) By mutual agreement, in lieu of credit support under subsection

(b)(1), MEP and Shipper may enter into an agreement that provides that, in the event

Shipper is deemed non-creditworthy, MEP and its affiliates may net their respective

payment obligations to Shipper or its affiliates up to the amount of the deficient credit

support owed MEP under these provisions.

(3) The value of imbalance Gas and loaned Gas shall be determined in

accordance with this subsection (3). MEP may require security from noncreditworthy

Shippers for the value of imbalance Gas either under an OBA or under Rate Schedules FTS

and/or ITS and of Gas loaned under Rate Schedule PALS. The amount of security

necessary to collateralize imbalance Gas and Gas loans shall be equal to the outstanding

quantities of imbalance Gas and of Gas previously loaned to the Shipper plus any

additional quantities of imbalance Gas which MEP reasonably expects to incur during the

ensuing 12 months based on prior experience and any additional quantities of loaned Gas

which MEP is obligated to loan Shipper pursuant to an executed Request Order, times the

Index Price. The Index Price as used herein shall mean, as applicable, the daily average

“NGI Cash Market Prices” for gas flowing on the Day the imbalance volume is calculated

or the loan is agreed upon (which will generally reflect the previous Business Day's

activity) for the Operational Impact Area in which the imbalance or loan is to occur. If

such a price is not published in the above-referenced publication for that day, MEP will use

a price based on an appropriate index price in another publication of common use in the

industry as mutually agreed upon by MEP and Shipper.


FERC Gas Tariff





(4) Nothing herein shall be read to preclude MEP from

requiring, and enforcing for the term of the initial contracts, a greater amount of security in

agreements supporting an application for a certificate to construct new or expanded

facilities, including any replacement contract entered into upon a permanent release of

capacity under such an initial contract, any assignment of such an initial contract or any

resale of capacity subject to such an initial contract in the event of a default.

(c) Where a Shipper selects the prepayment option under Section

12.1(b) of these General Terms and Conditions, the prepayment amounts shall be deposited

in an interest-bearing escrow account if such an account has been established by Shipper

which meets the criteria set out in this paragraph. The costs of establishing and maintaining

the escrow account shall be borne by Shipper. The escrow bank must be rated at least AA

or better and shall not be affiliated with Shipper. The escrow arrangement shall provide for

the prepayment amounts to be applied against the Shipper's obligation under its service

agreement(s) with MEP and shall grant MEP a security interest in such amounts as an

assurance of future performance. The escrow agreement shall specify the permitted

investments of escrowed funds so as to protect principal, and shall include only such

investment options as corporations typically use for short-term deposit of their funds. Such

escrow account shall at all times maintain the amount of prepayments required under

Section 12.1(b) of these General Terms and Conditions. If MEP is required to draw down

the funds in escrow, it will notify the Shipper and Shipper must replenish such funds within

three (3) Business Days after such notice.

(d) In the event MEP constructs new lateral facilities to accommodate

a Shipper, MEP may (unless otherwise agreed) require from the Shipper security in an

amount up to the cost of the facilities. This provision does not apply to mainline

expansions. Such security may be in any of the forms available under Section 12.1(b) of

these General Terms and Conditions, at Shipper's choice. MEP is only permitted to recover

the cost of facilities once, either through rates or through this provision. As MEP recovers

the cost of these facilities through its rates, the security required shall be reduced

accordingly. Specifically, collateral provided by Shipper related to new facilities shall be

returned to that Shipper in equal Monthly amounts over the term of its contract for service


FERC Gas Tariff





related to the new facilities or as otherwise mutually agreed by MEP and Shipper. Where

facilities are constructed to serve multiple Shippers, an individual Shipper's obligation

hereunder shall be for no more than its proportionate share of the cost of the facilities. This

requirement is in addition to and shall not supersede or replace any other rights that MEP

may have regarding the construction and reimbursement of facilities.

(e) MEP may not take any action under this Section 12.1 which

conflicts with any order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

12.2 (a) (1) If at any time MEP reasonably determines based on

adequate information available to it that a Shipper is not creditworthy under Section

12.1(a) of these General Terms and Conditions or if Shipper fails to maintain assurance of

future performance under Section 12.1(b) of these General Terms and Conditions, MEP

may notify such Shipper in writing that it has five (5) Business Days to provide MEP with

security consistent with Section 12.1(b) of these General Terms and Conditions which is

adequate to cover all charges for one Month's advance service; provided, however, that

MEP shall not be authorized to send such a notice to any Shipper which meets criteria for

satisfying credit requirements set out in Section 12.1(a)(3). In addition, within thirty (30)

days after such notification, the Shipper must fully comply with the means for adequate

assurance of future performance, covering the full level of collateral provided for under

Section 12.1(b) of these General Terms and Conditions. If the Shipper has not satisfied the

requirements in either of prior two (2) sentences by the end of the specified prior notice

period, MEP may immediately suspend service to Shipper. MEP may terminate service if it

has complied with the procedures in Section 12.2(d) of these General Terms and

Conditions.

(2) If MEP does not have sufficient information to determine

whether Shipper is creditworthy, it may request additional information in writing from the

Shipper consistent with Section 12.1(a) of these General Terms and Conditions, and

Shipper must provide such information within five (5) Business Days.

(i) If MEP requests additional information to be used

for credit evaluation after the initiation of service, MEP, contemporaneous with the

request, shall provide its reason(s) for requesting the additional information to the Shipper

and designate to whom the response should be sent; provided that MEP and the Shipper

may mutually agree to waive this requirement.


FERC Gas Tariff





(ii) Upon receipt of a request from MEP for information

to be used for creditworthiness evaluation, the Shipper's authorized representative(s) shall

acknowledge receipt of MEP's request; provided, however, that MEP and the Shipper may

mutually agree to waive this requirement.

(iii) The Shipper's authorized representative(s) shall

respond to MEP's request for credit information, as allowed by this Tariff, on or before the

due date specified in the request, which due date must be consistent with the requirement

of this Section 12.2(a)(2). The Shipper should provide all the credit information requested

by MEP or provide the reason(s) why any of the requested information was not provided.

(iv) Upon receipt from the Shipper of all credit

information provided pursuant hereto, MEP shall notify the Shipper's authorized

representative(s) that it has received such information; provided, however, that MEP and

the Shipper may mutually agree to waive this requirement.

(v) Representatives and notices regarding Shipper

creditworthiness shall be as provided in Section 12.1(a) of these General Terms and

Conditions.

(vi) If Shipper fails to provide the requested information

or if MEP determines that the Shipper is not creditworthy based on such information,

Section 12.2(a)(1) of these General Terms and Conditions shall apply for suspension of

service and Section 12.2(d) of these General Terms and Conditions shall apply for

termination of service.

(b) Any suspension of service hereunder shall continue until MEP is

reasonably satisfied that Shipper is creditworthy under Section 12.1(a) of these General

Terms and Conditions or until Shipper has provided adequate assurance of future

performance under Section 12.1(b) of these General Terms and Conditions. A Shipper shall

not be obligated to pay any reservation or demand charges for suspended service

attributable to the period when that service is suspended.


FERC Gas Tariff





(c) At any time after a Shipper is determined to be non-creditworthy by

MEP, the Shipper may initiate a creditworthiness re-evaluation by MEP. As part of the

Shipper's re-evaluation request, the Shipper must either update or confirm in writing the

prior information provided to MEP related to the Shipper's creditworthiness. Such update

should include any event(s) that the Shipper believes could lead to a material change in the

Shipper's creditworthiness. Such reevaluation shall be performed consistent with Section

12.1(a) of these General Terms and Conditions. After MEP's receipt of such a request for

credit reevaluation including all required information under this Tariff for evaluation of

credit, MEP shall provide a written response to Shipper within five (5) Business Days.

Such written response should include either a determination of creditworthiness status,

clearly stating the reason(s) for MEP's decision, or an explanation supporting a future date

by which a reevaluation determination will be made. In no event should such reevaluation

determination exceed twenty (20) Business Days from the date of the receipt of Shipper's

Request unless specified in this tariff or if the parties mutually agree to some later date. If

MEP determines that Shipper is now creditworthy without security, any security

requirements under Section 12.1(b) of these General Terms and Conditions shall be

terminated and any prepayment amounts (including any applicable interest) released to

Shipper from escrow within five (5) Business Days after such determination.

(d) In addition to suspension, MEP may terminate service if the Shipper

fails to provide adequate assurance of future performance consistent with Section 12.1(b)

of these General Terms and Conditions. Any such termination requires thirty (30) days'

prior notice to Shipper and to the Commission. To avoid termination, the Shipper must

satisfy Section 12.1(b) of these General Terms and Conditions within this notice period.

Such notice may be given simultaneously with the notice provided for in Section 12.2(a)(1)

of these General Terms and Conditions. If the contract is terminated, MEP shall net and/or

set off, as allowed by law, all positions calculated in accordance with the provisions of the

applicable Rate Schedule (i.e., invoiced transportation amounts, invoiced imbalance

amounts, park and loans, rate refunds, etc.) prior to settling outstanding account balances

with the Shipper. MEP shall have the right to assert any liens or other interests, consistent

with applicable law, against any gas remaining on its system.


FERC Gas Tariff





(e) In addition to any prior notice provided for above, MEP shall

simultaneously notify the Commission in writing of any suspension or termination of

service under this Section 12.2.

(f) MEP may not take any action under this Section 12.2 which conflicts

with any order of the U. S. Bankruptcy Court.







13. INTERACTIVE WEBSITE

13.1 WEB SITE DESCRIPTION

(a) MEP maintains the Interactive Website, a FERC compliant

interactive internet web site which is available for use by Shippers and other interested

parties. The web site has both secure and non-secure regions. Information of a general

nature is included in the non-secure region while confidential Shipper specific data is

accessible only through the secure region, which requires a logon and password. Daily

back-up records of information displayed or entered through this web site are archived,

and non-secure information is accessible to customers on a non-discriminatory basis.

The data is kept for a three (3) Year period, inclusive of both current and archived data.

(1) MEP provides on the Informational Postings portion of its

Interactive Website a link to the Gas quality provisions of this Tariff.

(2) MEP provides on the Informational Postings portion of its

Interactive Website daily average Gas quality information for prior Gas Day(s), to the

extent routinely collected and readily available, for location(s) that are representative of

mainline Gas flow. To the extent that MEP monitors tariff-based gas quality provisions

for locations representative of mainline gas flow by non-electronic methods (e.g., spot

sample), such information will be posted as soon as practicable. The gas quality

information posted pursuant to this tariff provision is operational in nature.

For purposes of this tariff provision, “readily available” is

that data which is currently available in electronic format or would be available

electronically with minor enhancement(s) to existing data collection, processing and

reporting capability.

This gas quality information is reported in units as specified

in this tariff’s General Terms and Conditions. Gas quality information not specified in

these General Terms and Conditions, if posted, is posted using units determined by MEP.

The information available for the identified location(s) is

provided in a downloadable format. In any event, compliance with Gas quality

requirements is in accordance with MEP's Tariff, including these General Terms and

Conditions. Listed below are examples of Gas quality attributes:







Heating Value

Hydrocarbon Components, % of C1 - Cnn, as used in

Determining Heating Value

Specific Gravity

Water

Nitrogen

Carbon Dioxide

Oxygen

Hydrogen

Helium

Total Sulfur

Hydrogen Sulfide

Carbonyl Sulfide

Mercaptans

Mercury and/or any other contaminants being measured

Other pertinent Gas quality information that is specified

in MEP's Tariff, including these General Terms and

Conditions

(3) Data posted pursuant to the prior paragraph, Section

13.1(a)(2), are made available on MEP's Interactive Website for the most recent three-

Month period. Beyond the initial three-Month period, the historical data is made available

offline in accordance with regulatory requirements. Such posted data are provided in a

tabular downloadable file described by MEP in the posting. The first row of the file

contains the column headers and data begin on the second row of the file. In addition, one

of the columns contains the applicable Gas Day. For any location(s), MEP may, at its

discretion, elect to provide Gas quality information in addition to that specified in the prior

paragraph. MEP may choose how to provide the information.

(b) The non-secure information is primarily comprised of FERC

mandated informational postings. MEP may add informational sections to this web site in

order to facilitate timely and complete communications with customers. The secure region

provides access to Nominations, Flowing Gas/Volume Inquiry data, Invoicing, Contracting

and Capacity Release Processing. Logons and passwords required to enter the secure

region of the web site may be obtained per the procedures outlined in Section 13.2.

rights, and if so, all the factors to be used in evaluating Qualified Bids, including how

its capacity rights are to be awarded in the event of a tie for the highest valued

Qualified Bid and whether the Releasing Shipper has presubmitted a computer diskette

for such bid evaluation procedure pursuant to Section 14.5(a).

14.5 CAPACITY RELEASE REQUIREMENTS

(a) All terms and conditions relating to a release which is the

subject of a Capacity Release Request: (1) must be nondiscriminatory and applicable

to all potential bidders; (2) must be made available to MEP for posting; (3) must relate

solely to the details of acquiring or maintaining the transportation capacity rights on

MEP, which are the subject of the release; and (4) must not place any obligations or

burdens on MEP in addition to the terms and conditions applicable to a capacity release

under this Section 14 which are specified in MEP's Tariff. Any bid evaluation

procedure elected by a Releasing Shipper different from MEP's bid evaluation

procedure set forth in Sections 14.10(b) through 14.10(e) must be objective,

nondiscriminatory in all circumstances and contain a complete description of the bid

evaluation procedure for posting on the Public Information portion of MEP's

Interactive Website. MEP may require the Releasing Shipper to submit a working

computer program to MEP in diskette form which is compatible with MEP's Interactive

website computer which will enable MEP to make such alternative bid evaluation

entirely through MEP's Interactive Website.







The Releasing Shipper shall warrant that the computer diskette conforms to the bid

evaluation procedure in the Capacity Release Request.

For the capacity release business process timing model, only the

following methodologies are supported by MEP and provided to Releasing Shippers as

choices from which they may select and, once chosen, will be used in determining the

awards from the bid(s) submitted. They are: 1) highest rate, 2) net revenue and 3) present

value. For index-based capacity release transactions, the Releasing Shipper should provide

the necessary information and instructions to support the chosen methodology. Other

choices of bid evaluation methodology (including other Releasing Shipper defined

evaluation methodologies) can be accorded similar timeline evaluation treatment at the

discretion of MEP. However, MEP is not required to offer other choices or similar

timeline treatment for other choices, nor is MEP held to the timeline should the Releasing

Shipper elect another method of evaluation.

(b) The term of any release of capacity sought under this Section 14

shall be at least one full Day and shall not exceed the remaining term of the Eligible Firm

Transportation Agreement.

(c) The quantity sought to be released under a Capacity Release

Request shall not be less than the minimum quantity required for the Eligible Firm

Transportation Agreement under MEP's Tariff.

(d) (1) No capacity release under this Section 14 shall result in an

increase in the total capacity set forth in the Eligible Firm Transportation Agreement with

the Original Shipper for any segment of a path covered by such Eligible Firm

Transportation Agreement. Segmented releases are subject to Section 6.13 of these General

Terms and Conditions. Without limitation of the prior sentence, Leased Capacity may not

be segmented. If the capacity release is for a segment permitted under said Section 6.13,

then a break point must be designated. The break point must be a physical location on the

primary path of the Original Shipper's Agreement.







(2) Except in the case of a permanent release, no

Replacement Shipper or Subreplacement Shipper shall have the right to change the

primary Receipt or Delivery Points listed in the Eligible Firm Transportation

Agreement, unless the Original Shipper and MEP agree to amend the Eligible Firm

Transportation Agreement to accordingly change the primary points. Point

designations for segmented released are governed by Section 6.13 of these General


(3) (i) The maximum rates that may be bid and

charged for a Released Firm Transportation Agreement that is for a term greater than

one (1) year are the higher of the maximum lawful rates applicable to the Eligible

Firm Transportation Agreement held by the Original Shipper or the Negotiated Rate

(or rate under a Negotiated Rate Formula) being paid by the Releasing Shipper. If the

Releasing Shipper is paying a Negotiated Rate or a rate under a Negotiated Rate

Formula pursuant to Section 30 of these General Terms and Conditions, a Qualified

Bidder may not bid a rate which exceeds the higher of such rate or the applicable

Recourse Rate. A qualified Bidder may bid a rate form which would be a Negotiated

Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula if and only if the rate form is one explicitly

recognized in MEP's Tariff as available for capacity releases (such as volumetric

rates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a release of Leased Capacity may not be at a

rate which exceeds the Leased Capacity Charges in effect from time to time.

(ii) There is no maximum rate limitation applicable

to bids for capacity release for a term of one (1) year or less, if the release is to take

effect on or before one (1) year from the date on which MEP is notified of the release.

(4) Unless otherwise agreed, in no event shall any

Negotiated Rate (or rate under a Negotiated Rate Formula) which is less than the

Recourse Rate apply to overrun quantities.

(e) A Capacity Release Request may include the right by a

Releasing Shipper to recall all or part of the capacity, and/or to reput all or part of the

recalled capacity, at any time and from time to time. All recalls or reputs must be

made in accordance with the other provisions of MEP's Tariff, including Section

14.14 of these General Terms and Conditions, and should be specified at the time of

the deal. Reput methods and rights are individually negotiated between the Releasing

Shipper and Replacement Shipper.







(f) (1) The Releasing Shipper may withdraw its posted Capacity

Release Request during an open season under this Section 14 where unanticipated

circumstances justify and no minimum bid has been received; following the close of the

open season, a Releasing Shipper may not reject a winning Qualified Bid.

(2) Request shall be binding until written or electronic notice of

withdrawal is received by MEP.

(3) Notice of a withdrawal of a Capacity Release Request must

be delivered to MEP's Interactive Website no later than the end of the open season for the

Capacity Release Request.

(g) A Replacement Shipper or Subreplacement Shipper may in turn

release the capacity it obtains under the provisions of this Section 14 on the same terms and

basis as the primary release (except as prohibited by the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission Regulations).

(h) Any Capacity Release Request not in compliance with this Section

14.5 and the other provisions of MEP's Tariff shall be null and void and, even if posted,

may be removed from MEP's Interactive Website by MEP at any time.

14.6 OPEN SEASON EXCEPTIONS

An open season is not required for: (a) a Prearranged Release for more

than one (1) year at the higher of the maximum reservation charge or the Negotiated Rate

(or rate under a Negotiated Rate Formula) applicable to the capacity being released, (b) a

Short-term Prearranged Release, (c) a Prearranged Asset Manager Release, as defined in

Section 14.2(g)(i) hereof or (d) a Prearranged Release to a Marketer Participating in a

State-Regulated Retail Access Program, as defined in Section 14.2(g)(ii) hereof. A

Capacity Release Request which is not subject to an open season need only contain the

information required in Sections 14.4(a) and 14.4(b). Such Capacity Release Request must

be delivered to MEP's Interactive Website (or in writing for posting on MEP's Interactive

Website if MEP's Interactive Website is unavailable for receiving Capacity Release

Requests) sufficiently in advance so that the release may become effective







under Section 14.9 before the release transaction is to commence. A Releasing Shipper

may not rollover, extend or in any way continue a Short-term Prearranged Release exempt

from bidding under subsection (b) hereof with the same Replacement or Sub-replacement

Shipper until twenty-eight (28) days after the Short-term Prearranged Release has ended

unless the Releasing Shipper complies with the Capacity Release Request provisions in

Sections 14.3 and 14.4, or the re-release qualifies for any of the other exemptions from

bidding, referenced in subsections (a), (c) or (d) hereof.

14.7 POSTINGS; OPEN SEASON

(a) A Capacity Release Request received by MEP through the

Interactive Website prior to the starting time of the open season requested by the Releasing

Shipper in its Capacity Release Request in conformance with this Section 14 shall be

posted on the Informational Postings portion of MEP's Interactive Website as requested.

The posting shall contain the information contained in the Capacity Release Request,

except that the minimum price in any minimum price condition requested to be held

confidential by the Releasing Shipper (but not the existence of the minimum bid

condition), shall be kept confidential and shall not be posted. The posting shall also include

the maximum reservation charge (including all reservation surcharges) applicable to the

capacity subject to the Capacity Release Request, the beginning and ending time for the

open season and the time the notice was posted. MEP shall post the Capacity Release

Request upon receipt, unless the Releasing Shipper requests otherwise. If the Releasing

Shipper requests a posting time, MEP will comply with that request as long as it comports

with the deadlines set forth in this Section 14.

(b) An open season shall consist of: (1) a one (1) hour period on a

Business Day between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Central Clock Time or (2) any number (no

fractions) of Business Days running from 9:00 a.m. Central Clock Time on a Business Day

to 10:00 a.m. Central Clock Time on the following Business Day, as requested by the

Releasing Shipper in its Capacity Release Request; provided, however, that any capacity

release for a period of one (1) Year or longer must have an open season of at least three (3)

Business Days, each running from 9:00 a.m. Central Clock Time on a Business Day to

10:00 a.m. Central Clock Time two (2) Business Days later.


FERC Gas Tariff





(c) A Releasing Shipper may not specify an extension of an open

season or the match period for a Prearranged Release. Rather, the Releasing Shipper must

submit a new Capacity Release Request.

14.8 QUALIFIED BIDS FOR RELEASED CAPACITY RIGHTS

(a) At any time during an open season, a Qualified Bidder may submit

a Qualified Bid to MEP's Interactive Website (or in writing for posting on MEP's

Interactive Website if MEP's Interactive Website is unavailable for receiving Qualified

Bids) seeking released capacity rights under a Capacity Release Request. In addition to

being prequalified for credit pursuant to Section 14.15, each Qualified Bid must include the

following:

(1) The Qualified Bidder's legal name, address, phone number,

telefax number, the name and title of the individual responsible for authorizing the

Qualified Bid and identification of the capacity rights for which the Qualified Bid is made;

(2) The term for the purchase;

(3) A Minimum Bid Volume and a Maximum Bid Volume (in

Dth per Day);

(4) The fixed reservation charge and/or volumetric charge that

the Qualified Bidder agrees to pay for the capacity (and if a volumetric charge, any

minimum amount to be billed as a reservation charge, which must be equal to or greater

than any such amount designated by the Releasing Shipper);

(5) A statement that the Qualified Bidder agrees to all the terms

and conditions of the Capacity Release Request, with only the modifications as expressly

provided in its Qualified Bid, which modifications must be permitted by the Capacity

Release Request and must conform with the requirements in Section 14. In the event that

the Releasing Shipper has stated that Qualified Bid(s) may be contingent upon subsequent

events and the Qualified Bidder submits such a contingent Qualified Bid, then the

Qualified Bidder must state in full the nature of the condition and the last date by which the

Qualified Bid is null and void if the contingency does not occur; and







(6) Agreement that the Qualified Bidder is bound by the terms

and conditions of the capacity award by MEP pursuant to this Section 14 to the Qualified

Bidder, including MEP's standard form of Agreement covering the Rate Schedule

applicable to the released capacity and the terms and conditions of the Qualified Bid and

the Capacity Release Request, in accordance with MEP's Tariff. Bids shall be binding

until notice of withdrawal is received by MEP on its Interactive Website.

(b) The volume in a Qualified Bid may not be less than the minimum

volume required for an Eligible Firm Transportation Agreement under MEP's Tariff.

Neither the volume nor the release term specified in a Qualified Bid may exceed the

maximum volume or term specified in a Capacity Release Request, unless the Capacity

Release Request specifically allows otherwise. A Qualified Bidder must accept all the

terms and conditions of a Capacity Release Request submitted under Section 14.4

(involving a Prearranged Release) except for the level of the reservation charge and the

MDQ and/or Point MDQ, unless the Capacity Release Request specifically allows

otherwise.

(c) Except as provided herein, for releases for a term of more than one

(1) year, a Qualified Bidder may not bid rates which would exceed MEP's maximum

reservation charge applicable to the Eligible Firm Transportation Agreement capacity. If

the Releasing Shipper is paying a Negotiated Rate or a rate under a Negotiated Rate

Formula pursuant to Section 30 of these General Terms and Conditions, a Qualified Bidder

may not bid a rate which exceeds the higher of: (i) the rate under the Negotiated Rate or

Negotiated Rate Formula in the Releasing Shipper's contract; or (ii) the applicable

Recourse Rate. The maximum Qualified Bid reservation charge includes all demand

surcharges, including all direct-billed charges which are or may become applicable to the

Eligible Firm Transportation Agreement capacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a

release of Leased Capacity may not be at a rate which exceeds the Leased Capacity

Charges in effect from time to time.

(d) All Qualified Bids shall provide for payment of maximum

commodity charges under MEP's Tariff for the capacity bid, as well as all other applicable

add-on charges and surcharges under MEP's Tariff, such as, but not limited to, ACA, Fuel

Gas and Unaccounted For Gas.







(e) A Qualified Bid received by MEP during an open season shall be

posted by MEP on its Interactive Website system, without the name of the Qualified

Bidder. A Qualified Bid may be withdrawn by the Qualified Bidder prior to the close of the

open season, but may not be withdrawn thereafter. Following such withdrawal, the

Qualified Bidder cannot bid for the same capacity during the open season at a lower rate.

(f) All Qualified Bids must be consistent with all provisions of MEP's

Tariff. Any Qualified Bid inconsistent with MEP's Tariff or the applicable Capacity

Release Request shall be null and void.

14.9 AWARDING OF RELEASED CAPACITY; EFFECTIVE DATE; GAS

NOMINATIONS

(a) For a Prearranged Release for which no open season is required

under Section 14.6 and which is received at least one (1) hour prior to a nomination

deadline on a Gas Day, MEP shall award the capacity to the Prearranged Shipper within

one (1) hour after release notification, provided that all applicable provisions of this

Section 14 have been complied with.

(b) As to any other Prearranged Release, in the event there was no

winning Qualified Bid(s) with a higher total Bid Value than the Prearranged Shipper's Bid

Value, MEP shall notify the Prearranged Shipper. If, during an open season, the winning

Qualified Bid(s) have a higher total Bid Value than the Bid Value of the Prearranged

Release under the bid valuation procedure selected by the Releasing Shipper, MEP shall

notify the Prearranged Shipper of the terms and conditions of the winning Qualified Bid(s),

except for any identification of the Qualified Bidder(s). The Prearranged Shipper may elect

to match any or all of such winning Qualified Bid(s), but may not elect to match only a

portion of a winning Qualified Bid. Such election shall consist of the Prearranged Shipper

submitting notice to MEP of its unconditional agreement to the terms and conditions of one

or more of such winning Qualified Bid(s) in writing or electronic means. In the event of a

timely match, then the Prearranged Shipper shall be awarded the released capacity. To the

extent that the Prearranged Shipper fails to timely match (within the required time frame)

the winning Qualified Bid(s) with a higher Bid Value, then the Qualified Bidder(s) who

made the winning Qualified Bid shall be awarded the capacity. The timelines for the above

actions shall be as provided in Section 14.1 of these General Terms and Conditions.







(c) For any other Capacity Release Request, the capacity rights shall

be automatically awarded to the winning Qualified Bidder(s) when MEP has identified the

entity(s) to receive the released capacity under this Section 14.

(d) A capacity release shall become effective upon the awarding of

capacity consistent with this Section 14. Nominations for Gas service utilizing the released

capacity shall be accepted at the next available nomination opportunity which occurs on or

after the time the release becomes effective hereunder, consistent with 18 C.F.R. Section

284.12(c)(1)(ii); provided that nominations cannot be effectuated prior to the beginning

time specified in the release. MEP shall issue a contract to the winning Qualified Bidder

within one (1) hour after the capacity has been awarded. So long as the winning bidder has

pre-approved credit, that bidder can submit a nomination consistent with the above

regardless of whether a contract with MEP covering the capacity awarded has been issued

or executed; provided, however, that a contract must be executed under the provisions of

the relevant rate schedule regarding timely execution of a contract tendered by MEP in

order for a Shipper to have continued service beyond the maximum time specified for

timely contract execution. If the Releasing Shipper has already submitted a nomination on

a Gas Day under the Agreement being released, and if the Replacement Agreement

covering the released capacity is effective that same Gas Day, the Releasing Shipper may

incur overrun charges if his nomination exceeds the reduced contractual parameters under

the original Agreement resulting from the release (i.e., if the Releasing Shipper fails to

reduce its nomination, or does not adequately reduce its nomination, at the first opportunity

the Replacement Shipper has to nominate).

(e) Gas nominations for transportation pursuant to released capacity

are subject to the provisions of Section 6 of these General Terms and Conditions. Gas

nominations by a Shipper utilizing released capacity awarded by MEP shall constitute

Shipper's binding acceptance of the terms and conditions of the capacity award by MEP

pursuant to this Section 14, including MEP's standard form of Agreement covering the

Rate Schedule applicable to the released capacity and the terms and conditions of the

Qualified Bid and the Capacity Release Request, in accordance with MEP's Tariff.


FERC Gas Tariff





(f) Subject to the other provisions in this Section 14, in the event that

there is no Qualified Bidder or Prearranged Shipper for posted Eligible Firm

Transportation Agreement capacity during an open season, no capacity release will be

awarded and the Releasing Shipper shall retain the capacity sought to be released.

14.10 BID EVALUATION PROCEDURE

(a) Unless specifically requested otherwise by a Releasing Shipper in

its Capacity Release Request, Qualified Bids for released capacity shall be evaluated

pursuant to Sections 14.10(b) through 14.10(h) below. Any Qualified Bid which does not

meet a minimum price condition stated in the Capacity Release Request shall be rejected

outright. Any Qualified Bid with a contingency must have such contingency eliminated

before 3:00 p.m. Central Clock Time following the close of the open season, unless the

Releasing Shipper's offer has specified a later time; otherwise, such Qualified Bid will be

rejected.

(b) MEP shall calculate a Bid Value and Unit Bid Value for each

Qualified Bid and Prearranged Release (if any), and shall calculate the Winning Bid Value,

as follows:

(1) For each Month, the volume and reservation charge per Dth

stated in the Qualified Bid shall be multiplied together to derive a gross Monthly revenue

figure. If the Qualified Bids contain volumetric-based charges permitted by the Capacity

Release Request, then the gross Monthly revenue figure shall be equal to any minimum

amount designated by the bidder to be billed as a reservation charge even if there is no (or

insufficient) flow.

(2) Each gross Monthly revenue figure shall be discounted to a

net present value figure as of the first Day of the capacity release as sought in the Capacity

Release Request, using the current Federal Energy Regulatory Commission interest rate as

defined in 18 C.F.R. Section 154.501(d)(1).

(3) The net present value figures for the proposed release shall

be summed, and such sum shall be the Bid Value.


FERC Gas Tariff





(c) Capacity shall be awarded among the bids, best bid first (highest

Bid Value or other evaluation criteria as specified by the Shipper in the Capacity Release

Offer), until all offered capacity is awarded. The best qualified bid will be awarded its

Maximum Bid Volume and any subsequent bids will be awarded up to their Maximum Bid

Volume but no less than their Minimum Bid Volume.

(d) In the event ties exist among Qualified Bids, the Qualified Bid

submitted and received earliest by MEP's Interactive Web Site (or if MEP's Interactive

Web Site is not available and the Qualified Bid is submitted in writing, the time MEP

received the Qualified Bid) shall be the winning bid.

(e) The following are examples of how (c) and (d) are applied:

EXAMPLE (1) - Awarding by Best Bid

Assume: Capacity Release = 100,000/Day for 5 Years

Qualified Bids:

Maximum Bid Unit Bid Minimum

Volume Term Value Bid Volume

Bid (a) 40,000/Day 5 Years $.18 0

Bid (b) 40,000/Day 5 Years $.17 0

Bid (c) 40,000/Day 5 Years $.15 0

Winning Qualified Bids: Bid (a) has the highest Bid Value and would be awarded 40,000;

Bid (b) has the next highest Bid Value and would be awarded 40,000; Bid (c) would be

awarded the remainder of the capacity (20,000).


FERC Gas Tariff





EXAMPLE (2) - Awarding with Minimum Bid Volumes

The assumptions remain the same as in Example 1, except that we assume that Bid (c) has

a minimum Bid Volume of 40,000.

Winning Qualified Bids: Bids (a) and (b) would be allocated their maximum Bid Volume

of 40,000 each. Bid (c) would not be awarded any capacity since its Minimum Bid Volume

is 40,000. 20,000 would remain with the Releasing Shipper.

EXAMPLE (3) - Awarding using the tie-breaker

Assume: Capacity Release = 100,000/Day for 5 Years

Qualified Bids:

Maximum Bid Bid Minimum Time Bid

Volume Term Price Bid Volume Received

Bid (a) 60,000/Day 5 Years $.18 0 13:57:40

Bid (b) 50,000/Day 5 Years $.17 50,000 13:55:05

Bid (c) 35,000/Day 5 Years $.17 0 13:56:40

Bid (d) 35,000/Day 5 Years $.17 0 13:56:30

Winning Qualified Bid (a) receives 60,000 since it has the highest Bid Value; Bid (b)

receives 0 because of its Minimum Bid Volumes; Bid (c) receives 5,000 because the bid

was submitted after Bid (d); Bid (d) receives 35,000.







(f) In no event shall this Section 14.10 result in winning

Qualified Bids with a total volume in excess of the capacity specified in the Capacity

Release Request.

(g) The bid evaluation procedure set forth in this Section 14.10

shall only consider Qualified Bids to the extent they provide for an objectively

quantifiable payment by the Qualified Bidder. A Qualified Bid based on a

percentage of MEP's reservation charge shall be evaluated by MEP based solely on

the maximum reservation charge being charged by MEP for such service as of the

end of the open season.

(h) If the Releasing Shipper selected a bid evaluation procedure

which is different from the procedure set forth in this Section 14.10, which procedure

must comply with Section 14.5, MEP shall determine the winning Qualified Bid(s)

pursuant to the Releasing Shipper's bid evaluation procedure in its Capacity Release

Request and computer diskette (if any) submitted by the Releasing Shipper pursuant

to Section 14.5(a).

14.11 CONFIRMATIONS; RELEASED FIRM TRANSPORTATION

AGREEMENT

At the time the award of capacity under this Section14 is posted,

MEP shall send the winning Qualified Bidder or the Prearranged Shipper

confirmation of the capacity release awarded to such Qualified Bidder or Prearranged

Shipper. Prior to MEP awarding capacity on a Prearranged Release, the Prearranged

Shipper shall confirm electronically the terms of the Prearranged Release.

14.12 COMPLETED TRANSACTIONS

After capacity has been awarded pursuant to Section 14.1(c), MEP

shall post on the Informational Postings portion of its Interactive Website the name(s)

of the winning Qualified Bidder(s), identification of the winning Qualified Bid(s) and

any minimum bid conditions held confidential during the open season. The Releasing

Shipper is responsible for reviewing the Qualified Bids to ensure that the released

capacity was correctly awarded. The Releasing Shipper shall notify MEP of any error

in the award of capacity within one Business Day after such posting on MEP's

Interactive Website. In the event of an error, the capacity shall be re-awarded by

MEP. As between MEP and the

Releasing Shipper, the Releasing Shipper shall indemnify and hold MEP harmless as to

any costs, damages or expenses relating to the bid evaluation procedure for which timely

notice of an error was not provided to MEP by the Releasing Shipper hereunder, except in

circumstances where the error results from MEP has not having satisfied the standard of

care in Section 24 of these General Terms and Conditions. MEP shall correct an error in a

timely fashion after receiving notice of such error from the Releasing Shipper or another

person.

14.13 BILLING

(a) MEP shall bill the Replacement Shippers and the Subreplacement

Shippers the rate(s) specified in the Released Firm Transportation Agreements and any

other applicable charges and each such Replacement Shipper and Subreplacement Shipper

shall pay the billed amounts directly to MEP. MEP shall not be responsible for billing the

Replacement Shipper for any amounts attributable to gas purchase or gas inventory

volumes tied to a transportation or storage capacity release. Such charges shall be between

the Releasing Shipper and Replacement Shipper. MEP shall have the right to discount the

commodity rates under the Released Firm Transportation Agreement. MEP will support

volumetric releases with volumetric commitments by fully accounting for volumetric and

reservation components, consistent with the rules and regulations of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission.

(b) A Releasing Shipper shall be billed the reservation charge

associated with the entire amount of released capacity pursuant to its contract rate, which

includes all non-commodity based charges under MEP's Tariff for such released capacity

including but not limited to additional direct-bill charges, with a concurrent conditional

credit for payment of the reservation charge due from the Replacement or Subreplacement

Shipper(s), as applicable, which received the released capacity. Releasing Shipper shall

also be billed a marketing fee, if applicable, pursuant to the provisions of Section 15 of

these General Terms and Conditions. As to any capacity released by a Releasing Shipper,

the Releasing Shipper shall not be billed or be responsible for: (1) commodity charges; (2)

cashouts of imbalances; and (3) add-on charges and surcharges applicable to MEP's

commodity rates under MEP's Tariff such as ACA, Fuel Gas and Unaccounted For Gas,

which are incurred by a Replacement Shipper or Subreplacement Shipper which received

the released capacity.


FERC Gas Tariff





(c) If a Replacement Shipper or Subreplacement Shipper does not

make payment to MEP of the reservation portion of the charges due as set forth in its

Released Firm Transportation Agreement, MEP shall bill the Releasing Shipper(s) from

whom such Replacement or Subreplacement Shipper received the capacity for the

amount(s) due, including all applicable late charges authorized by MEP's Tariff, and such

amount shall be paid by such Releasing Shipper within ten (10) days of the receipt of such

billing, or interest shall continue to accrue. In the event that the Replacement or

Subreplacement Shipper has not paid such amount(s) due by the end of such ten (10) day

period, then: (1) the Releasing Shipper has the right to recall the capacity; and (2) MEP's

rights against the delinquent Replacement/Subreplacement Shipper shall be subrogated to

the related rights of the Releasing Shipper. MEP shall make a reasonable effort to collect

from the Replacement/ Subreplacement Shipper the amount(s) due. Such reasonable effort

shall not include incurring costs from outside attorneys, collection agents or other third

parties.

(d) All payments received from a Replacement or Subreplacement

Shipper shall first be applied to reservation charges, then to late charges on reservation

charges, then to cashout amounts, then to late charges not on the reservation charges, and

then last to commodity-based charges. Except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to

Section 30.4 of these General Terms and Conditions, payments by Replacement or

Subreplacement Shippers in excess of the total amount(s) due for the Released Firm

Transportation Agreement capacity shall be a credit applied to any outstanding balance

owed under any contract with MEP, or a refund if requested in writing and no such

outstanding balance exists.

(e) REFUNDS DUE UNDER RELEASES GREATER THAN ONE

(1) YEAR

If MEP is obligated to refund any amounts attributable to

reservation charges for capacity which has been released, MEP shall make the applicable

refund to the Replacement Shipper to the extent that MEP has actually received reservation

charge amounts from the Replacement Shipper in excess of the amounts assessable under

the revised maximum reservation charge rates (which amounts are credited to the account

of the Releasing Shipper under Section 14.13(d) above). Except as may otherwise be


FERC Gas Tariff





provided pursuant to Section 30.4 of these General Terms and Conditions, MEP shall make

a corresponding adjustment to the capacity release credit provided to the Releasing

Shipper, and may reflect the reduced capacity release credit in a lower refund or adjusted

billings to the Releasing Shipper. Any other applicable reservation charge refunds shall go

to the Releasing Shipper. Except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 30.4 of

these General Terms and Conditions, commodity rate refunds shall go to the party which

paid the commodity charge.

(f) Refunds Due Under Releases One (1) Year or Less

If MEP is obligated to refund any amounts attributable to

reservation charges for capacity which has been released above the maximum rate for one

year or less, MEP shall make the applicable refund to the Releasing Shipper

notwithstanding the amount that MEP has actually received from the Replacement Shipper

(which amounts are credited to the account of the Releasing Shipper under Section

14.13(d) above). MEP shall reflect the same credit from the Replacement Shipper but shall

adjust its billing to the Releasing Shipper to reflect the revised maximum reservation rates.

Except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 30.4 of these General Terms and

Conditions, commodity rate refunds shall go to the party which paid the commodity

charge.

14.14 NOMINATIONS/SCHEDULING; RECALLS AND REPUTS

(a) RECALLING CAPACITY - GENERAL

MEP supports the ability of a Releasing Shipper to specify as a

condition of a capacity release offer which recall notification periods as set out below will

be available for use by the parties to the release and whether recall notices must be

provided on a Business Day. All Replacement and Subreplacement Shippers shall

nominate and schedule Gas for service hereunder directly with MEP in accordance with the

applicable procedures set forth in Section 6 of these General Terms and Conditions. In

order for any capacity recall or capacity reput to be effective for a Day, a Releasing

Shipper must give prior notice of such recall or reput and any allocation of the capacity for

a partial recall or reput to MEP.







(b) RECALL NOMINATION TIMELINE

Releasing Shippers may, to the extent permitted as a condition of

the capacity release, recall released capacity (scheduled or unscheduled) at any of the Daily

nomination cycles consistent with the following (notice of the allocation of capacity

between the Releasing Shipper and the Replacement Shipper hereunder is intended to be

provided in a manner that will permit affected parties sufficient time to place nominations

or take other corrective actions and thereby avoid penalties):

(1) TIMELY RECALL NOTIFICATION

(i) A Releasing Shipper recalling capacity must provide

notice of such recall to MEP and to the first Replacement Shipper no later than 8:00 a.m.

on the day that Timely Nominations are due;

(ii) MEP shall provide notification of such recall to all

affected Replacement Shippers no later than 9:00 a.m. on the day that Timely Nominations

are due;

(2) EARLY EVENING RECALL NOTIFICATION

(i) A Releasing Shipper recalling capacity must provide

notice of such recall to MEP and to the first Replacement Shipper no later than 3:00 p.m.

on the day that Evening Nominations are due;


affected Replacement Shippers no later than 4:00 p.m. on the day that Evening

Nominations are due;

(3) EVENING RECALL NOTIFICATION

(i) Releasing Shipper recalling capacity must provide

notice of such recall to MEP and to the first Replacement Shipper no later than 5:00 p.m.

on the day that Evening Nominations are due;


affected Replacement Shippers no later than 6:00 p.m. on the day that Evening








(4) INTRADAY 1 RECALL NOTIFICATION

(i) A Releasing Shipper recalling capacity must

provide notice of such recall to MEP and to the first Replacement Shipper no later than 7:00

a.m. on the day that Intraday 1 Nominations are due;

(ii) MEP shall provide notification of such recall to

all affected Replacement Shippers no later than 8:00 a.m. on the day that Intraday 1





p.m. on the day that Intraday 2 Nominations are due;


all affected Replacement Shippers no later than 1:00 p.m. on the day that Intraday 2

Nominations are due; and




p.m. on the day that Intraday 3 Nominations are due;


all affected Replacement Shippers no later than 5:00 p.m. on the day that Intraday 3

Nominations are due.

(7) OTHER

For recall notifications provided to MEP prior to the recall

notification deadline specified in (1)-(6) of this Section 14.14(b) and received by MEP between

7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., MEP shall provide notification to all affected Replacement Shippers no

later than one hour after receipt of such recall notification. For recall notifications provided to

MEP after 5:00 p.m. and prior to 7:00 a.m., MEP should provide notification to all affected

Replacement Shippers no later than 8:00 a.m. after receipt of such recall notification.

(c) METHODS OF NOTIFICATION

(1) The Replacement Shipper is to provide MEP with no

more than two Internet E-mail addresses to be used for recall notification under Section

14.14(b) of these General Terms and Conditions. The obligation of MEP to provide notification

is waived until at least one of the addresses has been provided. When MEP sends Internet E-







mail notification for recalling of capacity to each affected Replacement Shipper, the

subject line of the E-mail should include the following information separated by commas

in the following order: (1) "Recall", (2) the recall notification period, (3) the Effected

Date in YYYYMMDD format, (4) MEP's name or abbreviation (excluding commas), and

(5) MEP's D-U-N-S number. The body of such E-mail notification is to contain at least the

affected Replacement Shipper's Contract Number, the quantity of capacity being recalled,

and the Offer Number or Award Number, if necessary to uniquely identify the capacity

being recalled. For recalls that are effective at non-standard times, the appropriate recall

notification period is to be included in the subject line and the effective time of the recall is

to be in the body of the E-mail. If MEP allows capacity recall notification mechanisms in

addition to Internet E-mail, the notification is to include at least the same level of

information. Affected Replacement Shippers are to manage internal distribution of

notifications of recall received from MEP.

(2) The Releasing Shipper shall provide capacity recall

notification to MEP through MEP's Interactive Website. The Releasing Shipper shall

provide notice to its affected Replacement Shipper at the same time it provides notification

to MEP. The recall notification must specify the recall notification period for the specified

effective Gas Day, as well as any other information needed to uniquely identify the

capacity being recalled. The mode of notification is to be mutually agreed upon between

the Releasing and the Replacement Shipper.

(3) All recalled capacity notices must indicate whether

penalties will apply for the Gas Day for which quantities are reduced due to a capacity

recall.

(d) QUANTITY ALLOCATION

In the event of an Intraday capacity recall, MEP shall determine the

allocation of capacity between the Releasing Shipper and the Replacement Shipper(s)

based upon the Elapsed Prorata Capacity (EPC). Variation to the use of EPC may be

necessary to reflect the nature of MEP’s tariff, services, and/or operational characteristics.

In any recall notification provided to MEP, the quantity should be expressed in terms of the

adjusted total released capacity entitlements based upon EPC. EPC means that portion of

the capacity that would have theoretically been available for use prior to the effective time

of the Intraday recall based upon a cumulative uniform hourly use of the capacity. The

amount of the capacity allocated to the Replacement Shippers(s) should equal the original

released capacity less







the recalled capacity that is adjusted based upon the EPC. MEP shall not be obligated to

deliver in excess of the total MDQ of the release as a result of any recall. The service

flexibility available to either the Releasing Shipper or the Replacement Shipper for the

subject capacity shall not be less as a result of the recall.

(e) REPUTS

When capacity is recalled, it may not be reput for the same Gas

Day.

(f) DISPUTES

In the event of a dispute between the Releasing Shipper and any

other person as to the validity of any recall or reput, or the status of the holder of the

capacity rights, MEP shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice provided by the

Releasing Shipper. The Original Shipper, Replacement Shipper and/or Subreplacement

Shipper involved in any such dispute shall indemnify and hold MEP harmless from any

costs, damages or expenses relating to MEP's reliance on such notice.

14.15 QUALIFICATION FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE CAPACITY

RELEASE PROGRAM

(a) Any person wishing to become a Qualified Bidder and make a

Qualified Bid must satisfy the creditworthiness requirements in Section 12.1(a) of these

General Terms and Conditions prior to submitting a Qualified Bid under this Section 14. A

person cannot bid for services which exceed its pre-qualified level of credit-worthiness.

MEP shall process--and encourages--applications from potential Qualified Bidders seeking

prequalification for bids they may make in the future.

(b) Credit applications shall be completed in full with all information

required to establish creditworthiness under the credit criteria included in Section 12.1(a)

of these General Terms and Conditions. Should a potential bidder fail to satisfy such credit

criteria, the potential bidder may still become a Qualified Bidder by providing a

prepayment, letter of credit, security interest or guarantee satisfactory to MEP as further set

forth in Section 12.1(b) of these General Terms and Conditions.


FERC Gas Tariff





(c) Based on MEP's continuing review of a Shipper's financial records,

MEP shall have the right to amend a Shipper's line of credit and lower or increase the

quantity and term, subject to Section 12.2 of these General Terms and Conditions.

(d) MEP's determination of a Shipper's creditworthiness is solely for

MEP's purposes under MEP's Tariff and such determination is neither a representation nor

a guarantee to a Releasing Shipper or any other entity as to the ability of a Replacement or

Subreplacement Shipper to pay any outstanding amount under a Released Firm

Transportation Agreement.

14.16 COMPLIANCE BY SHIPPER

By acquiring released capacity, a Shipper agrees that it will comply with

all provisions of MEP's Tariff and all applicable Commission orders, rules and regulations.

Such Shipper also agrees to be responsible to MEP for compliance with all applicable

terms and conditions of MEP's Tariff, as well as the terms and conditions of the Released

Firm Transportation Agreement.

14.17 OBLIGATIONS OF RELEASING SHIPPER

(a) The Releasing Shipper shall continue to be liable and responsible

for all reservation charges associated with the released capacity up to the reservation

charge specified in such Releasing Shipper's Agreement with MEP. The Releasing Shipper

agrees that the award of capacity to a Replacement Shipper or Subreplacement Shipper

shall automatically reduce the Releasing Shipper's firm capacity rights under the

Agreement with MEP effective on the effective date of the release for the period of the

release, except for any period that the firm capacity is recalled by the Releasing Shipper (if

the successful bid so permits) until such capacity is reput to the Replacement or

Subreplacement Shipper, in accordance with this Section 14.

(b) A release by a Replacement Shipper shall not relieve the Original

Shipper or the Replacement Shipper of their obligations under this Section 14, except as

provided in Section 14.18 of these General Terms and Conditions.


FERC Gas Tariff





14.18 DISCHARGE OF RELEASING SHIPPER IN PERMANENT

RELEASES

(a) In the event that a Released Firm Transportation Agreement covers

the remaining term of the Eligible Firm Transportation Agreement at the higher of either (i)

the applicable maximum rate under a release for more than one (1) year, (ii) a rate in

excess of any applicable maximum rate under a release for one (1) year or less, or (iii) any

applicable Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula, then the Original Shipper may

request in writing that the Original Shippers' rights and obligations under the Eligible Firm

Transportation Agreement shall be prospectively assigned to, and be assumed by, the

Replacement Shipper. Following such request, in order to effectuate the permanent

release, the following conditions must be satisfied: (1) the Replacement Shipper must

demonstrate compliance with the creditworthiness standards set forth in Section 12 hereof;

and (2) MEP must be financially indifferent to the release in order to consent to such

release. Once these conditions have been satisfied, MEP shall send the Original Shipper

and Replacement Shipper an assignment agreement to so provide. In the event that the

Original Shipper and the Replacement Shipper both execute such an assignment

agreement, the Original Shipper shall be released from all liability under the Eligible Firm

Transportation Agreement arising after such execution date.

(b) MEP shall agree to an assignment where the released Firm

Transportation Agreement covers the remaining term of the Eligible Firm Transportation

Agreement but specifies a lower rate than specified in subsection (a) above. In such a case,

the Releasing Shipper shall remain liable and responsible for the payment of all reservation

charges applicable to the Agreement unless and until the following conditions have been

met:

(i) The Capacity Release shall be for the remaining term of the

Agreement;

(ii) The Replacement Shipper shall agree to pay a rate equal to

or greater than the reservation rate which the Releasing Shipper paid under the Agreement

(or such other rate as MEP shall agree to accept); and

(iii) The Replacement Shipper shall meet the creditworthy

standards set forth in Section 12 of the General Terms and Conditions of MEP's Tariff and

MEP must be financially indifferent to the release in order to consent to such release.


FERC Gas Tariff





(c) Once the conditions in subsections (a) or (b) are met, upon written

request by the Releasing Shipper and consent by MEP, the Releasing Shipper shall be

discharged from its obligation assumed by the Replacement Shipper.

14.19 CONVERSIONS BETWEEN MONTHLY AND DAILY

RESERVATION RATES

For less than maximum rate transactions only, converting the Daily rate to

a Monthly rate is accomplished by multiplying the Daily rate times the number of Days in

the rate period, dividing the result by number of Months in the rate period and taking the

remainder out to five (5) decimal places and rounding up or down to MEP's specified

decimal place. Converting a Monthly rate to a Daily rate is accomplished by multiplying

the Monthly rate by number of Months in rate period, dividing the result by number of

Days in rate period and taking the remainder out to five (5) decimal places and rounding up

or down to MEP's specified decimal place.

14.20 MEP'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE A CAPACITY RELEASE

MEP may elect to terminate a Replacement Shipper's Agreement with

MEP upon prior written notice of at least thirty (30) days to the Replacement Shipper,

under the following conditions:

(a) The Releasing Shipper has failed to make timely payment or

maintain credit (or provide adequate assurance of payment) in accordance in Sections 2.8

and/or 12 of these General Terms and Conditions and MEP has suspended or terminated

service to the Releasing Shipper or has provided notice under Section 2.8 or 12.2 which

ultimately results in suspension or termination of service; and

(b) The rate stated in the Replacement Shipper's Agreement is less than

the rate for service under MEP's contract with the Original Shipper; provided, however,

that a Replacement Shipper which is creditworthy can continue an existing capacity release

by notifying MEP that it agrees to pay the same rate as is in the original Agreement

between MEP and the Releasing Shipper. In the alternative, MEP and the Replacement

Shipper may agree upon other pricing terms, including payment of the maximum tariff rate

or some other rate that is acceptable to the pipeline, in which case the release shall

continue. Such an arrangement must be effectuated prior to the end of the notice period.


FERC Gas Tariff





15. ADVERTISEMENT AND MARKETING FEES

15.1 ADVERTISEMENTS

Any person may advertise for the purchase of capacity on MEP's System

on MEP's Interactive Website by submitting the desired advertisement (up to one page)

to MEP. MEP shall post such advertisement on MEP's Interactive Website no later than

the Business Day following receipt thereof if so requested, so long as the advertisement

is not unlawful or inconsistent with MEP's Tariff. The posted period requested may be

for a period of time not to exceed one Month. There will be no posting fee for such

advertisements seeking to purchase capacity on MEP. A response in and of itself to an

advertisement seeking to purchase capacity never constitutes a capacity release; to

release capacity, the Shipper holding the capacity rights must utilize the release

procedures set forth in Section 14 of these General Terms and Conditions.

15.2 FEE FOR ACTIVE MARKETING

When a Shipper is seeking to release capacity under Section 14 of these

General Terms and Conditions, such a Shipper may request that MEP actively market

capacity to be released. The Releasing Shipper and MEP shall negotiate the terms of the

marketing service to be provided by MEP and the marketing fee to be charged therefor.






16. PRE-GRANTED ABANDONMENT, CONTRACT ROLLOVERS, RIGHT OF FIRST

REFUSAL AND BUY-OUTS OF EXISTING AGREEMENTS

16.1 GENERAL

Subject to Section 16.3, service performed by MEP under Part 284 of the

Commission's Regulations shall expire, and shall be automatically abandoned, upon

contract termination under: (a) any FTS transportation Agreement with a primary term

of less than one (1) Year; and (b) any ITS, IBS or PALS Agreement regardless of term.

Service under any FTS transportation Agreement with a term of one (1) Year or greater

shall expire, and shall be automatically abandoned, on contract termination unless

service is continued pursuant to Sections 16.2 or 16.3. Rights under this Section 16 shall

not be available to the extent provided in Section 2.1(b)(7) of these General Terms and

Conditions (relating to limited time period contracts). The right of first refusal under

Section 16.2 hereof shall apply to Leased Capacity to the extent provided in such section.

In addition, contractual rollovers under Section 16.3 hereof may apply to Leased

Capacity.

16.2 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

(a) Any Shipper under a firm service Agreement with a term of one (1)

Year or greater (including Leased Capacity) (unless otherwise agreed) and with a rate

equal to the applicable maximum rate shall have the right to continue receiving service

after the expiration of its existing Agreement to the extent consistent with this Section

16.2; provided however, that with respect to Leased Capacity, Shipper shall only be

entitled to continue receiving service on the Leased Capacity pursuant to this section

through the then remaining term of the Enable Oklahoma Lease. The prior sentence shall

(unless otherwise agreed) include any such firm Agreement which incorporates a

Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula if (unless otherwise agreed) the revenue

under such an Agreement equals or exceeds the revenue at the applicable maximum rate.

MEP shall set out in the posting described in subsection 16.2(b) below the forms of bids

which may be submitted in the Right of First Refusal. Bids may always be submitted in

the rate form underlying the applicable maximum rate. Bids in the form of a Negotiated

Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula may only be submitted if permitted in the posting. A

match by the existing Shipper must be made in a bid form permitted under the posting.

MEP shall not be required to provide service under the Right of First Refusal procedure

at a

Midcontinent Express Pipeline LLC Original Sheet No. 329 FERC Gas Tariff First Revised Volume No. 1




discount from the applicable maximum rate unless it otherwise agrees. If a bid is submitted for a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula, the value of that bid for evaluation purposes shall be capped at, and the existing Shipper need only match, the lesser of the value of the bid at the Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula or the value of that bid utilizing the Recourse Rate in lieu of the Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula. (b) To exercise the Right of First Refusal, the existing Shipper must provide MEP with notice of its intent to do so in a form specified by MEP and must submit such notice at least nine (9) Months prior to the expiration of the existing Agreement. MEP shall advise Shipper in writing of the date by which such notice must be submitted at least one (1) Month prior to the last day on which such notice can be made on a timely basis. Such notice must specify a desired term of service, the desired MDQ and the desired Point MDQ at each Receipt and Delivery Point. If the requested MDQ is greater than the existing MDQ and/or if the Point MDQ is greater than the existing Point MDQ at any Receipt and Delivery Point, any such increase shall be treated as a request for new service under the applicable Rate Schedule and only the original quantity shall be subject to the Right of First Refusal under this Section. The Right of First Refusal may apply to a portion of the existing Shipper's MDQ for its then effective service. If the existing service encompasses both zones, the Right of First Refusal must be for firm capacity in both zones. Any notice specifying a decrease in MDQ or Point MDQ shall not affect the existing Agreement during its remaining term. (c) Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a notice under Section 16.2(b), MEP shall post on the Informational Postings portion of its Interactive Website an Announcement of Capacity Availability Subject to Right of First Refusal (Capacity Announcement) which shall: (1) specify the existing Shipper's service rights; (2) indicate the availability of such service as of the date the existing Agreement expires, subject to the Right of First Refusal; (3) state the maximum rate applicable to such service; (4) set out any other information required by this Section; and (5) solicit bids for such service. Such Capacity Announcement shall be maintained, and bids accepted via MEP's Interactive Website, for a period of at least ten (10) days from the initial posting.


FERC Gas Tariff





(d) (1) Within one (1) week after the end of the ten (10) day period

during which the Capacity Announcement is posted, MEP shall convey to the existing

Shipper a term sheet for the best bid (based on price and term) which would qualify for

such service in all respects (including meeting applicable credit criteria), which is a bona

fide bid and which MEP is willing to accept. MEP may, but is not required to, accept any

bid which reflects a discount from the applicable maximum rate. In assessing which is the

best bid if more than one bid is received, MEP shall apply the same criteria as are utilized

to allocate firm capacity pursuant to Section 2.1 of these General Terms and Conditions,

except that contract terms in excess of five (5) years shall not increase the value of any bid.

(2) MEP's term sheet shall contain any and all terms of the bid

but shall not identify the bidder; provided, however, such bid sheet shall indicate if the best

bid was submitted by an affiliate of MEP. Except for the providing of such term sheet to

the existing Shipper, all terms and conditions of any bid and the identity of the bidder shall

remain confidential; provided that the Commission may on request have access to such

information on a confidential basis.

(3) The existing Shipper shall have two (2) weeks to notify

MEP whether or not it desires to match the best bid. To match the best bid, the existing

Shipper must agree to both a price (up to the applicable maximum rate or Recourse Rate)

and a term which at least equals the bid on all or any portion of the service the existing

Shipper desires to retain; provided, however, a) if the existing Shipper seeks to retain only

a portion of its MDQ, the analysis of whether the existing Shipper has matched the best bid

may take into account the MDQ requested under the best bid relative to the MDQ the

existing Shipper seeks to retain; and b) if the best bid is for more than five (5) years, the

existing Shipper need only match the net present value associated with the first five (5)

years covered by the bid.

(e) (1) If the existing Shipper matches the best bid, it shall be

entitled to continuation of service and shall be obligated to sign an Agreement tendered by

MEP which reflects the best bid or any counteroffer by the existing Shipper which matches

such best bid.


FERC Gas Tariff





(2) If the existing Shipper fails to match the best bid, the

existing Agreement shall terminate at the end of its term and service to the existing Shipper

shall be automatically abandoned.

(3) Submission of a bid shall be binding on the bidder. The

bidder submitting the best bid shall be obligated to sign an Agreement reflecting its bid if

the existing Shipper fails to match. Nothing herein shall preclude negotiation of a more

acceptable Agreement by mutual consent of MEP and such bidder; provided, however, that

service may not be agreed upon under terms and conditions less favorable to MEP than the

best bid without providing the existing Shipper an additional opportunity to match such

revised terms and conditions.

(f) MEP shall notify the existing Shipper if no qualified bid is received

within one (1) week after the end of the ten (10) day period the Capacity Announcement is

posted. In the absence of a qualified bid, the rate (within applicable maximums and

minimums) and the term for continued service shall be negotiated between MEP and the

existing Shipper. No discount or other special terms shall apply to a rollover Agreement

unless MEP and the existing Shipper mutually agree. If no agreement is reached prior to

the end of the three (3) week period following MEP's notice to the existing Shipper, the

existing Shipper may, at that time, require that MEP enter into an Agreement to provide

service at the applicable maximum rate for a term specified by Shipper and running from

the date the existing Agreement expires. Unless the existing Shipper so elects at the end of

the three (3) week period following MEP's notice to it, MEP may negotiate with any

Shipper, with the existing Shipper having no further rights under this Section 16 and

service under the existing Agreement shall be terminated and automatically abandoned at

the expiration thereof.

(g) If the existing Shipper is eligible to receive continued service under

this Section 16.2, MEP shall tender a rollover Agreement which conforms to the

requirements of this Tariff prior to the expiration of the existing Agreement. The existing

Shipper and MEP shall execute such rollover Agreement, or any modified Agreement upon

which MEP and Shipper may mutually agree which is not inconsistent with this Tariff,

within two (2) weeks. If it fails to execute the rollover Agreement on a timely basis, the

existing Shipper shall (in addition to all other remedies available to MEP for such Shipper's

failure to fulfill its obligation to execute such Agreement) forfeit any right to continuation

of service after the expiration of the existing Agreement.

16.3 CONTRACTUAL ROLLOVERS

The term of service under any FTS, ITS, PALS or IBS Agreement

(including an Agreement covering Leased Capacity may be extended pursuant to a rollover

or evergreen provision in such Agreement, which provision may supersede any otherwise

applicable rollover or Right of First Refusal pursuant to this Section. In addition, the

parties may subsequently negotiate rollover or evergreen provisions which differ from this

Section. MEP is not obligated to offer or agree to any such rollover or evergreen

provisions; provided, however, that to the extent it offers or agrees to any such provision, it

must do so on a non-discriminatory basis for similarly situated Shippers. Without

limitation of the foregoing, a contractual rollover provision may include a unilateral right

on the part of Shipper to extend the term of the Agreement by notice to MEP by a time

specified and rights of first refusal in addition to those specified in this Section 16.

16.4 VALID REQUEST CRITERIA

Unless waived by MEP, the requirements for a valid request under the

applicable Rate Schedule (including the applicable credit analysis) apply to any rollover

Agreement.

16.5 BUY-OUTS OF EXISTING AGREEMENTS

MEP and a Shipper may agree to reduce the MDQ of a FTS transportation

Agreement (“MDQ Reduction”) or to terminate an existing FTS transportation

Agreement before the expiration of the term of the Agreement (“Early Termination”) in

the following circumstance: In response to an observable deterioration, based upon a

review of the criteria specified in Section 12.1(a) of these General Terms and Conditions,

of a Shipper’s financial ability to perform the payment of obligations due to MEP over

the term of the existing Agreement. As a condition of an MDQ Reduction or Early

Termination, MEP may require that a Shipper provide a payment to MEP equal to all or a

portion of the reservation charges that shipper would be obligated to pay MEP for the

remaining term of the Agreement. MEP shall be under no obligation to agree to a MDQ

Reduction or Early Termination. MEP shall negotiate MDQ Reductions and Early

Terminations with Shippers on a not unduly discriminatory basis.

17. MEASUREMENT

17.1 UNIT OF MEASUREMENT AND METERING BASE

The volumetric measurement base shall be one (1) cubic foot of Gas at a

pressure base of fourteen and seventy-three hundredths pounds per square inch absolute

(14.73 psia), at a temperature base of sixty degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees F.), and

without adjustment for water vapor.

17.2 ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE

For the purpose of measurement, calculations, and meter calibration, the

average absolute atmospheric (barometric) pressure shall be based on the actual altitude

of each point of measurement irrespective of variations in natural atmospheric pressure

from time to time. In the event electronic computer measurement is used, the absolute

Gas pressure will be measured directly, using an absolute pressure measuring device for

continuous input to the electronic computer.

17.3 TEMPERATURE

The temperature of the Gas shall be determined at the points of

measurement by means of a properly installed recording thermometer or continuous

electronic transducer input to a computer of standard manufacture selected by MEP to be

installed in accordance with the recommendations applicable to the standards for the

metering equipment. The arithmetic average of hourly temperatures for each Day shall

be used in computing temperatures of the Gas during such Day for conventional chart

measurement. In the event electronic computer measurement is used, average Daily

temperature will be computed as a running average of data determined during each

computer scan.

17.4 DETERMINATION OF HEATING VALUE AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY

At the option of MEP, the heating value of the Gas may be determined by

the use of a chromatograph, a continuous Gas sampler or by taking spot Gas samples.


FERC Gas Tariff





(a) In the case where an online chromatograph is used, the results will

be applied continuously during calculation. The average of the hourly heating value during

periods of flow each Day shall be recorded and considered as the heating value of the Gas

delivered to MEP or Shipper.

(b) In the event a continuous Gas sampler is installed, then the heating

value of the composite sample so taken shall be considered as the heating value of the Gas

for the applicable period. Alternatively, the results may be applied prospectively beginning

on the Day the results become available after agreement by both parties.

(c) If spot samples are taken, the samples shall be run on the

measuring party's chromatograph at another location. The result of a spot sample shall be

applied to Gas deliveries as of the Day the results are available and for all succeeding Days

until a new sample is taken.

(d) All heating value determinations made with a chromatograph shall

use physical gas constants for Gas compounds as outlined in the GPA Std 2145-00 Rev 1

Table of Physical Constants of Paraffin Hydrocarbons and other Compounds of Natural

Gas and any subsequent amendments or revisions to such Report to which the parties may

mutually agree. The moisture content of the Gas shall be determined as often as necessary

and practical to determine the actual heating value of the Gas stream.

(e) The calculations (for Btu) shall be based on dry Gas if the Gas at

the measurement points contains less than five (5) pounds of water per MMcf. If the Gas

at the measurement points contains more than five (5) pounds of water per MMcf, the

appropriate factor determined by MEP in the exercise of its reasonable judgment for the

actual water vapor content will be applied to the Btu calculations to correct for this water

content.

(f) The specific gravity of the Gas flowing through the meter or meters

may be determined by the use of a chromatograph or by analysis of Gas collected in spot

and continuous samplers. Specific gravity shall be updated whenever the heating value of

the Gas is updated. All specific gravity determinations made with a chromatograph shall

use physical Gas constants for Gas compounds as outlined in the GPA Std 2145-00 Rev 1

Table of Physical Constants of Paraffin Hydrocarbons and other Compounds of Natural


FERC Gas Tariff





Gas with any subsequent amendments or revisions to such Report to which the parties may

mutually agree. Specific gravity shall be determined to the nearest one thousandth (0.001).

17.5 SUPERCOMPRESSIBILITY

The measurement hereunder shall be corrected for deviation from Boyle's

Law at the pressures and temperatures under which Gas is measured hereunder by the use

of the AGA Report Nos. 3 and 9.

17.6 MEASURING EQUIPMENT

MEP will install, maintain and operate or cause to be installed, maintained

and operated, measuring stations equipped with flow meters and other necessary metering

and measuring equipment by which the volumes of Gas received and Equivalent Volumes

delivered hereunder shall be determined.

17.7 METERING

(a) Where measurement is by orifice meter, all fundamental constants,

observations, records and procedures involved in the determination and/or verification of

the quantity and other characteristics of Gas delivered hereunder shall be in accordance

with the standards prescribed in the latest edition of A.G.A. Report No. 3 (ANSI/API 2530)

on "Orifice Metering of Natural Gas," with any revisions, amendments or supplements as

may be mutually acceptable to MEP and Shipper, unless otherwise specified herein.

(b) Where measurement is by turbine meter, unless specified

otherwise, shall be in accordance with A.G.A. Report No. 7, with any revisions,

amendments or supplements as may be mutually agreeable to the parties hereto.

(c) Where measurement is by ultrasonic meter, all fundamental

constants, observations, records and procedures involved in the determination and/or

verification of the quantity and other characteristics of Gas delivered hereunder shall be in

accordance with the standards prescribed in the latest edition of A.G.A. Report No. 9 on

"Measurement of Gas by Multi Path Ultrasonic Meters" with any revisions, amendments or

supplements as may be mutually acceptable to MEP and Shipper, unless otherwise

specified herein.


FERC Gas Tariff





(d) Where measurement is by other than orifice, turbine or ultrasonic

meter, standards commonly acceptable in the natural gas industry and mutually agreeable

to the parties shall be used in the determination of all factors involved in the computation

of Gas volumes.

17.8 ELECTRONIC FLOW COMPUTERS

It is recognized that electronic or other types of flow computers have been

developed that permit the direct computation of Gas flows. MEP may use such devices for

custody transfer.

17.9 NEW MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES

If, at any time, a new method or technique is developed with respect to Gas

measurement or the determination of the factors used in such Gas measurement, such new

method or technique may be substituted by MEP. MEP shall promptly inform all Shippers

of any new techniques adopted.

17.10 CALIBRATION AND TEST OF METERS

The accuracy of all measuring equipment shall be verified by MEP at

reasonable intervals, and if requested, in the presence of representatives of Shipper, but

MEP shall not be required to verify the accuracy of such equipment more frequently than

once per Month. If either party at any time desires a special test of any measuring

equipment, it will promptly notify the other, and the parties shall then cooperate to secure a

prompt verification of the accuracy of such equipment. If, upon testing, the challenged

equipment is found to be in error, then it shall be repaired and calibrated. The cost of any

such special testing, repair and calibration shall be borne by the party requiring the special

test if the percentage of inaccuracy is found to be one percent (1%) or less; otherwise, the

cost shall be borne by the party operating the challenged measuring equipment.

17.11 CORRECTION OF METERING ERRORS

If, upon any test, any measuring equipment is found to be inaccurate, such

equipment shall be adjusted immediately to measure accurately. If, upon any test, the

measuring equipment in the aggregate is found to be inaccurate by one percent (1%) or







more at a recording corresponding to the average hourly rate of Gas flow for the period

since the last preceding test, any payments based thereon shall be corrected pursuant to

Section 11.5 hereof, at the rate of such inaccuracy for any period which is known definitely

or agreed upon, but in case the period is not known definitely or agreed upon, such

correction shall be for a period extending over one-half (1/2) of the time elapsed since the

date of the last test. Measurement data corrections should be processed within six (6)

Months of the production Month with a three (3) Month rebuttal period. This standard shall

not apply in the case of deliberate omission or misrepresentation or mutual mistake of fact.

Parties' other statutory or contractual rights shall not otherwise be diminished by this

standard. Mutual agreement between parties, legal decisions and regulatory guidance may

be necessary to determine if the event qualifies for an extension of the above time periods.

17.12 FAILURE OF MEASURING EQUIPMENT

In the event any measuring equipment is out of service, or is found

registering inaccurately and the error is not determinable by test, or by previous recordings,

receipts or deliveries through such equipment shall be estimated and agreed to by the

parties upon the first of the following methods which is feasible:

(a) By correcting the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable by

calibration, special test, or mathematical calculation, or in the absence of (a); then

(b) By estimating the quantity of receipt or delivery based on receipts

or deliveries during preceding periods under similar conditions when the measuring

equipment was registering accurately.

17.13 PRESERVATION OF RECORDS

Shipper and MEP shall preserve for a period of at least three (3) Years, or

for such longer period as may be required by appropriate authority, all test data, charts and

other similar records.


FERC Gas Tariff





18. PRESSURE AND DELIVERY CONDITIONS

18.1 RECEIPT POINT PRESSURE

Unless otherwise agreed by contract, Shipper shall deliver Gas to MEP at

each Receipt Point at the pressure prevailing in MEP's System at that point.

18.2 DELIVERY POINT PRESSURE

Unless otherwise agreed by contract, MEP shall deliver Gas to Shipper at

each Delivery Point at the pressure available in MEP's System at such point.

18.3 HOURLY TAKES

On any Day, Gas shall be delivered by MEP in uniform hourly quantities,

based on Shipper's confirmed Daily nomination quantity divided by twenty-four (24),

subject to the operating conditions on MEP's System. At a Shipper's request, MEP will

deviate from such uniform hourly quantities to the extent in MEP's judgment it can

support such deviations operationally without adversely affecting other Shippers provided

that such flexibility shall not apply to Leased Capacity. If, after written request by MEP,

Shipper fails to restrict its hourly takes as specified herein, MEP may install and operate a

load limiting device at any Delivery Point where such failure has occurred. The cost for

such device, including the cost of installation, shall be paid by Shipper within 30 days of

its receipt of the bill therefore.

definition:

HHV / (Sqrt (SGgas) )

Where:

HHV = Higher Heating Value (Btu/scf)

SGgas = Specific Gravity

Sqrt = Square Root of

(b) MEP may, from time to time, as operationally necessary, establish

and post on the Informational Postings portion of its Interactive Website an upper limit on

the dew point for receipts on specified segments or other specified locations on its System

(other than Leased Capacity) to prevent hydrocarbon fallout, or to assure that Gas will be

accepted for delivery into downstream entities. MEP will include in such posting the

anticipated duration of the limitation. MEP will provide as much prior notice as reasonably

practicable and will attempt to provide in the posting at least ten (10) Business Days prior

notice before the limitation becomes effective. If such prior notice is not practicable, MEP

will explain the reason in the posting why it was unable to give such prior notice. Upon

request, MEP will provide current information regarding the dew point at any point of

receipt into MEP's System affected by the posting to the operator of that point or any

producer, purchaser, supply aggregator or Shipper with Gas being tendered at that point.

MEP shall not post, under this section, a cricondentherm dew point temperature of less

than fifteen degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees F).

(c) With respect to Leased Capacity, Gas received on the Leased

Capacity must meet the Gas quality standards established by Enable Oklahoma. MEP will

post on its Interactive Website the Gas quality standards in effect for the Leased Capacity.


FERC Gas Tariff





19.2 LIQUIDS SAMPLE

Shipper agrees to supply or cause its designee to supply to MEP upon

demand, at any time and from time to time, a sample of liquids removed from the Gas

stream at any Receipt Point, whether removed by a coalescer or otherwise, for analysis at a

laboratory of MEP's choosing. If at any time PCBs or any other toxic substances or

chemicals that MEP deems hazardous and/or in any way unsafe for transportation are

found in the liquid samples supplied to MEP by Shipper, MEP may in its sole discretion

immediately cease the receipt of such Gas and any associated liquids through its facilities.

Upon proof that such toxic or hazardous substances are no longer present at levels deemed

unsafe by MEP, MEP shall restore service to Shipper at the affected Receipt Point.

19.3 SUSPENSION OF RECEIPTS

Should any Gas delivered by or on behalf of Shipper to MEP at any

Receipt Point fail at any time to conform to any of the specifications provided for in this

Section 19, MEP may, at its option, suspend all or a portion of the receipt of any such Gas.

MEP shall be relieved of any of its obligations for the duration of such suspension. Upon

receipt of MEP's notice of such a failure, Shipper shall make a diligent effort to correct the

failure by treatment or dehydration consistent with prudent operation so as to tender Gas

conforming to the specifications provided for in this Section 19.

19.4 NONCOMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS

Non-conforming Gas will likely enter MEP's system from time-to-time.

Once MEP becomes aware based on periodic quality measurements that non-conforming

Gas is entering its system, it will promptly advise the Shipper(s) and point operators

involved that the Gas they are tendering is non-conforming, identifying the nature and

extent of the non-conformity, and that the Gas quality standards herein must be met. Where

operationally feasible, MEP will continue to accept non-conforming Gas for a limited

period of time while the Shipper(s) or point operators involved take steps to adjust


FERC Gas Tariff





operations so as to address the Gas quality issues. In addition, where operationally feasible

MEP may, from time to time, on a not unduly discriminatory basis, accept non-conforming

Gas to the extent it is able to blend Gas received at Receipt Points, as long as MEP

reasonably anticipates, in its sole judgment, that such blended Gas will not cause

operational or downstream problems at its Delivery Points.

(a) Should Shipper tender for receipt any Gas that causes the

composite Gas stream in MEP's facilities to fail the requirements of any downstream

pipeline, MEP may take whatever action necessary on MEP's own accord or use of a third

party, as solely determined by MEP, at Shipper's sole cost and expense, to treat and/or

process the Gas stream such that the Gas stream can be delivered to the downstream

pipeline. Until remedial action is taken to make Gas acceptable to the downstream pipeline,

MEP may refuse to accept receipt of any Gas, in MEP's sole discretion, which prevents

MEP from making deliveries into the downstream pipeline. MEP shall not have any

obligation to provide service with respect to Gas which does not satisfy the requirements of

this Section 19. Any reduction in the energy content of the Gas treated and/or processed

shall be determined and deducted from MEP's transportation volumes tendered for delivery

to the downstream pipeline.

(b) No waiver by MEP of any default by Shipper in any of the

specifications set forth above or in any other provision of this Tariff shall operate as a

continuing waiver of such specification or as a waiver of any subsequent default whether of

a like or different character.

19.5 POSTINGS

(a) MEP posts Gas quality information as set out in Section 13.1(a) of

these General Terms and Conditions.

(b) If MEP agrees to accept non-conforming Gas for a more extended

time than is contemplated under Section 19.4, MEP shall make a posting on the

informational postings section of its Interactive Website which sets out: (1) that MEP is

accepting non-conforming Gas; (2) the nature and extent of the non-conformity; and (3) the

expected duration of the arrangement to accept non-conforming Gas.

20. FORCE MAJEURE

20.1 EFFECT OF FORCE MAJEURE

In the event of either MEP or Shipper being rendered unable by Force

Majeure (on its part or that of a necessary third party) to carry out, wholly or in part, its

obligations under the provisions of an Agreement, it is agreed that the obligations of the

party affected by such Force Majeure, shall be suspended during the continuance of any

inability so caused but for no longer period, and such cause shall, so far as possible, be

remedied with all reasonable dispatch.

20.2 DEFINITION OF FORCE MAJEURE

(a) The term "Force Majeure" means any event or condition or

combination of events and/or conditions which prevents, hinders, or delays the

performance of any obligation subject hereto, in whole or in part, which is not within the

reasonable control of the person claiming suspension by reason of Force Majeure, and

which the party claiming suspension is unable to prevent or overcome by the exercise of

due diligence. A situation of Force Majeure on the Leased Capacity will constitute Force

Majeure on the Leased Capacity. It will also constitute Force Majeure on MEP generally

to the extent that it prevents, hinders or delays the performance of MEP's obligations.

For the purposes of the definition of "Force Majeure," the exercise of due diligence shall

mean acting in good faith with the intention of performing contractual obligations, and

the exercise of a degree of skill, diligence, prudence, and foresight that would reasonably

and ordinarily be exercised by a skilled and experienced person complying with

applicable law and engaged in the same type of undertaking under the same or similar

circumstances and conditions. Such events or conditions, provided that the foregoing

requirement are met, include, but are not limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, acts of

a public enemy, acts of sabotage, wars, blockades, riots, insurrections, epidemics,

landslides, subsidence, earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, storms, tornadoes, storm warnings,

floods, washouts, accidents, interruptions by government or court orders, present or

future orders of any regulatory body having proper jurisdiction, civil disturbances,

explosions and a Force Majeure event on the Leased Capacity. Failure by the party

claiming suspension to prevent or settle any strike or strikes shall not be considered to be

an event or condition within the control of such party.


FERC Gas Tariff





(b) If either party is rendered unable, in whole or in part, by Force

Majeure to carry out its obligations, then such party shall give notice and reasonably full

particulars of such Force Majeure in writing or by facsimile or telephone to the other party

within a reasonable time after it becomes aware of the occurrence of the Force Majeure,

and the obligations of such party, insofar as they are affected by such Force Majeure, shall

be suspended from the commencement of such Force Majeure through the continuance of

any inability so caused, but for no longer period, and such Force Majeure shall so far as

possible be remedied with all reasonable dispatch. Any suspension of obligation for

reasons of Force Majeure shall be proportional to the effect of such Force Majeure on the

particular obligation relief from which is sought.

20.3 POSTING

MEP shall post on the Public Informational Posting section of its

Interactive Website any declaration by it of a Force Majeure situation. This posting will

address the nature of the Force Majeure, the facilities and services affected, the anticipated

extent of the impact and its likely duration.

21. POSSESSION OF GAS, TITLE AND RESPONSIBILITY

(a) Shipper warrants that it will at the time of delivery to MEP have

good title to all Gas so delivered free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and claims

whatsoever. As between Shipper and MEP, Shipper shall be deemed to be in control and

possession of the Gas and responsible for and hold MEP harmless of and from any

damage or injury caused thereby until it shall have been delivered to MEP at the Receipt

Point(s), after which MEP shall be deemed to be in control and possession of such Gas

until its delivery to Shipper, or for Shipper's account at the Delivery Point(s) and while in

such possession MEP shall be responsible therefor and hold Shipper harmless of and

from any damage or injury caused thereby and shall be responsible for any loss of Gas

other than Unaccounted For Gas. MEP shall have no responsibility with respect to any

Gas on account of anything which may be done, happen or arise with respect to said Gas

until it is received by MEP. Shipper shall have no responsibility with respect to said Gas

after its receipt by MEP or on account of anything which may be done, happen or arise

with respect to said Gas after such receipt until its delivery to Shipper, or for Shipper's

account, at the Delivery Point(s). The point of the division of responsibility shall be the

point of interconnection between the facilities of MEP and the upstream or downstream

entity, at the Receipt or Delivery Point(s), as applicable. The foregoing provisions of this

Section shall not relieve either party (which includes its agents and employees) from

responsibility as provided under Section 24 of these General Terms and Conditions.

(b) Shipper will indemnify and hold MEP harmless from and against

any and all suits, actions, causes of action, claims and demands arising from or out of

any adverse claims by third parties claiming ownership of or an interest in the Gas

tendered under an Agreement. MEP will indemnify and save Shipper harmless from and

against any and all suits, actions, causes of action, claims and demands arising from or

out of any adverse claims by third parties claiming ownership of or an interest in the Gas

delivered to Shipper, or for Shipper's account, under an Agreement.

28. COMPLAINT PROCEDURE

28.1 COMPLAINT PROCEDURE

It is the goal of MEP, as a provider of transportation services for others,

that each of its existing and potential Shippers receive service that is in accordance with

MEP's Tariff and is fully satisfactory to it. To that end, it is the policy of MEP that

customer concerns and problems, communicated in any form to any representative of

MEP, be satisfactorily resolved as informally, as rapidly and at as low a level as is

possible. If attempts to resolve problems and concerns through such normal

communication channels are unsuccessful, the procedures set forth in Sections 28.1(a)

through 28.1(e) should be followed.

(a) Formal complaints by Shippers and potential Shippers shall be

addressed to the Director, Regulatory. A complaint should contain as much specific

information as is possible in order to facilitate the appropriate resolution of the matter.

Anyone making a verbal complaint should specifically identify the communication as a

complaint.

(b) The Director, or his designee, shall acknowledge the receipt of the

complaint within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt. If appropriate, MEP's resolution of the

matter will be communicated tentatively to the complainant at that time.

(c) The Director, or his designee, shall communicate, as necessary,

with others concerning the complaint and the formation of an appropriate response to it.

(d) The timing and nature of subsequent communications with the

complainant, including final resolution of the matter, shall be at the discretion of the

Director. Every effort shall be made to resolve finally each complaint in writing within

thirty (30) days after the complaint was originally received. At a minimum, MEP shall

notify Shipper in writing of the status of the complaint within thirty (30) days of its

FERC Gas Tariff





30. NEGOTIATED RATES

30.1 PRECONDITIONS TO NEGOTIATED RATES

Rates to be charged by MEP for service to any Shipper under Rate

Schedules FTS, ITS, PALS or IBS may deviate in either form or level or both from the

applicable maximum rate level in this Tariff (and may include "favored nation" clauses

as to rates), subject to the following provisions:

(a) MEP and Shipper have executed a valid Agreement containing

therein or in a related agreement a specific mutual understanding that Negotiated Rate(s)

or a Negotiated Rate Formula will apply to service for that Shipper;

(b) At the time of execution of the Agreement (or the amendment to an

Agreement), which first provides for the applicability to Shipper of the Negotiated

Rate(s) or Negotiated Rate Formula, service was available pursuant to the terms and

conditions (not modified by this Section 30) of Rate Schedules FTS, ITS, PALS or IBS

of this Tariff, as applicable; and

(c) No later than the Business Day on which MEP commences service

at such Negotiated Rate(s) or Negotiated Rate Formula (or if the Day on which MEP

commences service is not a Business Day, then no later than the next Business Day after

MEP commences service), MEP will file a tariff sheet advising the Commission of such

Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula, stating the name of Shipper, the type of

service, the Receipt and Delivery Point(s) applicable to the service, the volume of the

Gas to be transported, any other charges, and specifying either: (i) the specific

Negotiated Rate included in such Agreement; or (ii) the Negotiated Rate Formula

included in such Agreement with sufficient specificity such that the rate in effect from

time to time can be readily calculated. The tariff sheet must also either incorporate a

statement that the Agreement does not deviate from the form of service agreement in any

material respect or the Agreement must be reflected on a separate tariff sheet identifying

non-confirming Agreements of MEP. As an alternative to filing the tariff sheet, MEP

may file the contract setting out the Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula.






30.2 AWARD OF FIRM CAPACITY

To the extent the revenue level pursuant to the Negotiated Rate(s) or

Negotiated Rate Formula provided for in Section 30.1 above should equal or exceed the

revenue level at the Recourse Rate, the Shipper paying such Negotiated Rate(s) or rate(s)

under a Negotiated Rate Formula shall be treated, for capacity award purposes, as if the

rate(s) paid had been equal to the Recourse Rate. Any Shipper, existing or new, paying the

Recourse Rate(s) has the same right to capacity for capacity award purposes as a Shipper

willing to pay an equal or higher Negotiated Rate(s) or rate(s) under a Negotiated Rate

Formula. If the Negotiated Rate or the rate under a Negotiated Rate Formula are always

higher than the corresponding Recourse Rate, the Recourse Rate rather than the Negotiated

Rate will be used as the price cap for the Right of First Refusal pursuant to Section 16.2 of

these General Terms and Conditions. Where the Negotiated Rate(s) or rate(s) under a

Negotiated Rate Formula results in revenue which is greater than the Recourse Rate during

certain portions of the relevant evaluation period but less than the revenue at the Recourse

Rate during other portions of the relevant evaluation period (but the revenue pursuant to the

Negotiated Rate(s) or rate(s) under a Negotiated Rate Formula equals or exceeds that which

would be generated at the Recourse Rate for the entire evaluation period), the value of bids

and requests at the Negotiated Rate(s) or rate(s) under a Negotiated Rate Formula for

capacity award purposes shall be evaluated as though the Recourse Rate applied under such

bid or request for the entire evaluation period. Where the Negotiated Rate(s) or rate(s) under

the Negotiated Rate Formula result in revenue which is less than revenue at the Recourse

Rate over the relevant evaluation period, the value of the bids or requests at the Negotiated

Rate(s) or rate(s) under the Negotiated Rate Formula for capacity award purposes shall be

evaluated based on such lower revenue and shall be afforded a correspondingly lower

priority in a capacity award procedure than bids or requests at the Recourse Rate. In

applying this Section 30.2, revenue associated with the Leased Capacity Charges, which

passed through to Enable Oklahoma, will not be considered.

30.3 ACCOUNTING FOR COSTS AND REVENUES

The allocation of costs to and the recording of revenues from service at

Negotiated Rate(s) or under a Negotiated Rate Formula will follow MEP's normal practices

associated with all of its services under this Tariff. MEP will maintain separate records of

Negotiated Rate and Negotiated Rate Formula transactions for each billing period.


FERC Gas Tariff





These records shall include the volumes transported, the billing determinants (MDQ), the

rates MEP charged and the revenue received associated with such transactions. MEP will

separately identify such transactions in Statements G, I and J (or their equivalent) filed in

any general rate proceeding. Should MEP institute a tariff provision to flow through on a

current basis to its Shippers the impact of certain transportation transactions, the treatment

of revenues from Negotiated Rate(s) or Negotiated Rate Formula(s) shall be specified in

such provision.

30.4 CAPACITY RELEASE REVENUE

MEP and Shipper may agree hereunder to a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated

Rate Formula which includes payment obligations or crediting mechanisms in the event of

a capacity release which vary from those set out in Section 14 of these General Terms and

Conditions. Nothing in the foregoing sentence, however, shall authorize MEP or Shipper

to violate the Commission's policy with respect to the negotiation of terms and conditions

of service.

30.5 FUEL GAS AND UNACCOUNTED FOR GAS

Under this Section, MEP and Shipper may agree upon retainage or

surcharge components, including a percentage charges for Fuel Gas, Booster Compression

fuel and/or Unaccounted For Gas, different from those otherwise determined under this

Tariff. Without limitation of the foregoing, MEP may enter into agreements on Fuel Gas,

Booster Compression fuel and/or Unaccounted For Gas retainage percentage with

Foundation Shippers or Anchor Shippers different from those determined under the Tariff.

MEP will credit the full maximum rate retainage or surcharge amounts to its accounts for

any such transactions where such retainage or surcharge amounts would apply if the

transaction were not entered into under this authority, without prejudice to MEP's recovery

from the Shipper with which it has such an agreement of additional future amounts to

offset any underrecovery experienced by MEP to the extent such future recoveries are

permitted by contract.


FERC Gas Tariff





31. OPERATIONAL CONTROL

31.1 GENERAL

(a) MEP shall endeavor to maintain adequate pressure throughout its

System and to preserve the overall operational integrity of its System; provided,

however, that MEP shall not be obligated to buy or sell Gas or, unless otherwise

contractually obligated, to install compression or otherwise modify its System for these

purposes except as otherwise agreed by contract. Operating personnel for Shippers and

other entities which are physically taking delivery of Gas from MEP or tendering Gas to

MEP shall cooperate with MEP in furtherance of this Section. Each Shipper shall

designate the telephone, e-mail address and/or telefax numbers of one or more persons

[but not more than two (2) primary and two (2) backup persons] for MEP to contact on

operating matters (including the receipt of Operational Flow Orders and notices of a

Critical Time) at any time, on a 24-hour a Day, 365-Day a Year basis. Such contact

persons must have adequate authority and expertise to deal with such operating matters.

(b) For the purpose of these General Terms and Conditions, the overall

operational integrity of MEP's System shall encompass the integrity of the physical

System and the preservation of physical assets and their performance, the overall

operating performance of the entire physical System as an entity (or any portion thereof),

and the maintenance (on a reliable and operationally sound basis) of total System

deliverability and the quality of Gas delivered.

31.2 FACILITY CONTROL

MEP shall maintain actual physical and operational control of all

transmission and other facilities on its System.

31.3 OPERATING INFORMATION

MEP may request that Shippers periodically provide non-binding estimates

of flow patterns and other operating parameters. Shippers will cooperate by providing

such operating information.


FERC Gas Tariff





31.4 OPERATIONAL CONTROL SEQUENCE

(a) In the event MEP's observations or projections indicate that a

situation is or may be developing in which adequate pressures may not be maintained or

the overall operational integrity of its System (or any portion thereof) could be threatened,

or in the event that such a situation actually occurs, MEP is empowered by this Section to

take action to alleviate this situation. In responding to such a situation, MEP shall first

apply the Advisory Action procedures of Section 31.5. If such measures are not sufficient

to address the situation fully, MEP shall next employ Operational Flow Orders as provided

in Section 31.6. In the event Operational Flow Orders alone are not adequate, MEP may

invoke the Critical Time procedures set out in Section 31.7. The procedures set out in such

provisions, and their sequencing, are intended to be applied only to the extent any of the

specific actions indicated, or such sequencing, would tend to alleviate the situation to be

addressed. In issuing Advisory Actions, Operational Flow Orders or a Critical Time, MEP

shall describe the conditions and the specific responses required from the affected parties.

Nothing herein shall preclude MEP from bypassing any of the above procedures if, in its

judgment, the situation so requires. MEP will keep Shippers advised through postings on

the Informational Posting portion of its Interactive Website on the status of the situation.

(b) To the extent practicable, MEP shall direct its actions hereunder to

Shippers creating or anticipated to create the situation to be addressed, including taking

actions on a point-specific basis or at specific locations on the System. Shippers will

endeavor to adjust nominations on every scheduling cycle at Receipt Points or Delivery

Points or both to provide a balance of receipt and delivery volumes so that imbalances do

not occur. In addition, Shippers will endeavor to cure existing imbalances that can be

reasonably attributed to their Agreements as directed by MEP.

31.5 ADVISORY ACTIONS

In the event MEP determines that action is required to avoid a situation in

which System pressure is not maintained or in which the overall operational integrity of the

System or any portion of the System is jeopardized, MEP may take the Advisory Actions

set out herein to forestall the development of such a situation.


FERC Gas Tariff





(a) MEP may request Shippers or other entities affecting its System to

take any of the following actions, or other similar actions, to the extent such actions would

tend to alleviate the situation, on a voluntary basis:

(i) Increase or decrease the supply mix of deliveries;

(ii) Shift receipts to obtain better capacity balance;

(iii) Utilize different Receipt or Delivery Points; or

(iv) Such other voluntary action as would tend to alleviate or

forestall the situation.

(b) MEP may also take actions within its control which might tend to

alleviate or forestall the situation. Such actions may include the following:

(i) Advise any Shipper which is not maintaining receipts and

deliveries in balance that such imbalances must not continue;

(ii) Curtail or require adjustments or supply shifts in service

under Rate Schedule ITS;

(iii) Enter into agreements with Shippers or third parties under

which such entity agrees to take voluntary action defined in such agreement which will

help operation of the System, which agreement may include reasonable and adequate

compensation for such entity; and

(iv) Take such other actions as are within MEP's control and

discretion to alleviate or forestall the situation.


FERC Gas Tariff





31.6 OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDERS

(a) (1) In the event that the Advisory Actions under Section 31.5

are not sufficient to alleviate conditions, inter alia, which threaten or could threaten the safe

operations of MEP's System or MEP's ability to provide firm service, MEP is authorized to

issue Operational Flow Orders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MEP shall take reasonable

actions to minimize the issuance and the adverse impact of Operational Flow Orders, or of

any other measure taken under this Section 31 in response to adverse operational events on

MEP's System, including issuance of Operational Flow Orders which, to the extent

practicable and where appropriate under the circumstances, are directed only to the specific

Shipper or Shippers whose actions caused or contributed significantly to the conditions

which required MEP to issue the Operational Flow Order. MEP will issue Operational

Flow Orders when necessary to maintain the pressure of its System within the range of

normal operating parameters, respond to changes (including anticipated changes) in

weather conditions or respond to or prevent facility outages or other conditions which

could have a detrimental impact on system reliability or service integrity on its system.

Operational Flow Orders shall be lifted as soon as practicable once such conditions no

longer prevail; provided that Operational Flow Orders need not be lifted if doing so might

result in a recurrence of the conditions sought to be addressed.

(2) Operational Flow Orders shall require action within any

Shipper class proportionate to appropriate and relevant parameters, such as applicable

contract quantities or current or recent flowing Gas volumes subject to Section 31.4(b).

(3) The Operational Flow Order shall identify with specificity

the situation to be addressed and shall (in addition to mandating specific actions) indicate

voluntary actions by Shippers (increased takes or receipts/decreased takes or receipts, etc.)

which would alleviate such situation. Operational Flow Orders shall also specify the time

when compliance must be achieved. Such Operational Flow Orders may, subject to the

remainder of this Section 31.6, require a Shipper to take any of the following actions, or

similar actions, to the extent such actions would tend to alleviate the situation to be

addressed:


FERC Gas Tariff





(i) Commence or increase supply inputs into MEP's

System or at specific Points, or shift such supply inputs (in whole or in part) to different

Points.

(ii) Cease or reduce supply inputs into MEP's System or at

specific Points.

(iii) Commence or increase takes of Gas from MEP's

System or from specific Points, or shift takes to different Points.

(iv) Cease or reduce takes from MEP's System or at specific

Points.

(v) Maintain flows on a ratable basis throughout the Day.

(vi) Rectify transportation imbalances.

(vii) Conform receipts or deliveries to the confirmed

nominations, for any Shipper with a variance greater than a level stated in the Operational

Flow Order.

(viii) Activate voluntary action agreement(s) previously

entered into, including any related compensation.

(ix) Such other actions which would tend to alleviate the

situation to be addressed.

(4) No Shipper will be required under an Operational Flow Order to

exceed its MDQ and/or Point MDQ under its Agreements with MEP.


FERC Gas Tariff





(b) An entity other than the Shipper may agree to take responsibility

for Operational Flow Orders on behalf of a Shipper or a point operator or on behalf of the

operator of a specified end-use facility. To accept such responsibility, the entity must

provide MEP with written notification which includes: (i) written consent by the affected

Shipper or operator; (ii) specification of any limits on the entity's responsibility; (iii) the

term over which the notification is effective; and (iv) an identification of adequate

resources which will be used to support the assumption of responsibility. Any notification

or change in notification is effective on the second Business Day after delivery to MEP.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, MEP may reject a notification upon written notice to such

entity and any affected Shipper if such notification fails to comply with this Section or

contains any provision which could adversely affect implementation of an Operational

Flow Order or if the entity is not in a position to accept responsibility either operationally

or financially for Operational Flow Orders. Such a rejection must be made by MEP within

two (2) Business Days after the notification is tendered to MEP. If a notification is already

in effect and MEP reasonably determines that the conditions for such a notification are no

longer met, MEP may provide notice of rejection, which notice shall be effective within

five (5) days or such later time as is specified in the notice. As part of any rejection of a

notification hereunder, MEP shall provide to the Shipper and to the entity which submitted

the notification a written explanation of the rejection. Such explanation must be consistent

with this paragraph. If such a notification is in effect, MEP will direct any Operational

Flow Order within the scope of the notification to the entity agreeing to take responsibility.

(c) Notice of an Operational Flow Order will be posted on MEP's

Interactive Website. MEP shall also post, as soon as available, information about

operational parameters which affect when an Operational Flow Order will begin and end

(e.g., significant changes in pressure on any pipeline segment, status of facility repairs,

etc.). MEP shall provide as much advance warning as practicable of: (i) conditions which

may create the need to issue an Operational Flow Order; and (ii) the issuance, termination

or modification of an Operational Flow Order. MEP will endeavor to post the notice that it

will issue an Operational Flow Order on its Interactive Website before 4:00 p.m. Central

Time or otherwise will endeavor to notify Shippers via its Interactive Website by 4:00 p.m.

Central Time that they should check MEP's Interactive Website again at a specified later

time to see whether an Operational Flow Order will be in effect for the next Day.


FERC Gas Tariff





Additionally, if Shipper has provided to MEP the e-mail address as specified in NAESB

Standard 5.3.35, such posting will be provided via e-mail in the format as defined in

NAESB Standard 5.3.38 at least four (4) hours prior to the start of the Day before an

Operational Flow Order will be effective as to a Shipper; provided, however, that MEP

may issue an Operational Flow Order on as little as one (1) hours notice where

operationally necessary. Such notice shall specify the anticipated duration of the

Operational Flow Order. An Operational Flow Order will be effective at the start of a Day

and will continue until the end of the Day and through the end of successive Days until

MEP notifies Shippers on its Interactive Website that the Operational Flow Order has been

lifted.

(d) (1) If any Shipper fails to comply with an Operational Flow

Order during any period which is not a Critical Time, it shall be subject to a penalty of 2 X

DIP times any volume of Gas by which it deviated from the requirements of the

Operational Flow Order; provided, however, that the penalty shall be 4 X DIP to the extent

a Shipper exceeds a variance level stated in an Operational Flow Order. In assessing any

penalty hereunder, MEP shall apply the DIP applicable to the period(s) during which the

violation occurred. A Shipper shall be exempt from such a penalty under this Section 31.6

to the extent the Operational Flow Order requires action beyond Shipper's contract limits

under its Agreement with MEP or if Shipper has complied within a reasonable range,

which range will be specified in the Operational Flow Order.

(2) In taking action based on an Operational Flow Order,

Shipper is entitled to rely on information (such as metering information) provided by MEP.

(3) A Shipper shall not be subject to Unauthorized Gas charges

from MEP with respect to any action taken in reasonable conformance with an Operational

Flow Order issued by MEP during a Critical or non-Critical Time.

(e) Within thirty (30) days after an Operational Flow Order has been

lifted, MEP will post on the Informational Posting portion of its Interactive Website a

report which describes the specific operational factors which caused the Operational Flow

Order to be issued and to be lifted.


FERC Gas Tariff





31.7 CRITICAL TIME

(a) MEP shall advise Shippers on its System if it is declaring a Critical

Time, and shall specify the nature of the situation creating the Critical Time. MEP shall

provide as much advance notice as practicable of any declaration of Critical Time.

(b) A Critical Time may be declared (1) when the total physical

receipts to all or a portion of the System are approaching or expected to approach, a level

that is in excess of the total physical deliveries MEP can transport without jeopardizing the

integrity of its facilities; (2) when System pressure is falling and approaching a level or is

expected to fall and approach a level that is at or below the minimum that MEP considers

necessary for System integrity or to fulfill its firm contractual obligations; (3) when System

pressure on one or more pipeline segments is rising and approaching a level or is expected

to rise and approach a level that is at or above the maximum pressure at which MEP's

facilities may be safely operated; or (4) at other times when MEP is unable or anticipates it

may not be able to fulfill its firm contractual obligations or otherwise when necessary to

maintain the overall operational integrity of all or a portion of MEP's System. A Critical

Time may not be declared on all or a portion of the System for the purpose of maintaining

interruptible services on that portion of the System, but Gas under interruptible service may

flow at times or on portions of the System when such flow would not violate any

operational control restrictions or provisions of this Tariff. MEP shall notify Shippers on

the Informational Postings portion of its Interactive Website as to the reason(s) why a

Critical Time was declared.

(c) Notice of a Critical Time will be posted on the Informational

Postings portion of MEP's Interactive Website. MEP will also provide notice via e-mail to

Shippers which have provided e-mail addresses. MEP will endeavor to post such notice

before 4:00 p.m. Central Time or otherwise will endeavor to notify Shippers via its

Interactive Website by 4:00 p.m. Central Time that they should check its Interactive

Website again at a specified later time to see whether a Critical Time will be in effect for

the next Day. MEP must attempt to give actual notice of a Critical Time via telefax or

telephone (provided a Shipper has given the numbers to MEP as required in Section 31 of

these General Terms and Conditions) at least four (4) hours prior to the start of the Day


FERC Gas Tariff





before a Critical Time will be effective as to a Shipper. Such notice shall specify the

anticipated duration of the Critical Time. A Critical Time will be effective at the start of a

Day and will continue until the end of the Day and through the end of successive Days

until MEP notifies Shippers via its Interactive Website that there is no longer a Critical

Time.

(d) MEP may issue Operational Flow Orders as described in Section

31.6 during a Critical Time.

(e) The penalty for failure to abide by an Operational Flow Order

issued during a Critical Time shall be equal to the volume (in Dth) by which Shipper

deviated from the requirement of the Operational Flow Order multiplied by 8 X DIP. In

assessing any penalty hereunder, MEP shall apply the DIP index applicable to the period(s)

during which the violation occurred.

31.8 STANDARDS

(a) In issuing Operational Flow Orders or taking other operational

control action under this Section, MEP shall apply consistent and objective engineering

and operational criteria to define the overall operational integrity of the System and

acceptable pressure levels to be protected, to evaluate the imminent nature of any threat to

these factors, and to determine what steps are necessary to preserve such factors. Such

criteria may be changed from time to time as operating experience indicates.

(b) In applying this Section, MEP shall operate its System on a non-

discriminatory manner, without regard to the source of supply, the identity or nature of any

Shipper or the identity of any entity tendering or receiving Gas except as otherwise

explicitly provided herein.


FERC Gas Tariff





32. WAIVERS/NON-WAIVER OF FUTURE DEFAULT

(a) MEP may waive any of its rights or any obligations of Shipper under this

Tariff on a basis which is not unduly discriminatory; provided that no waiver shall

operate to be construed as a waiver of other future rights or obligations, whether of a like

or different character.

(b) No waiver by either Shipper or MEP of any one or more defaults by the

other in performance of any of the provisions of an Agreement shall operate or be

construed as a waiver of any other existing or future default or defaults, whether of a like

or of a different character.




Issued On: May 23, 2017 Effective On: July 1, 2017


33. CAPACITY ON OTHER ENTITIES

33.1 ACQUIRED CAPACITY

(a) MEP may from time to time enter into transportation agreements,

including storage agreements, with upstream or downstream entities, including other

interstate pipelines, intrastate pipelines, or local distribution companies (Acquired

Capacity). MEP may use Acquired Capacity for its System operational needs and/or to

render service to its customers. Except as provided in subsection (b), MEP states that, if

it transports or stores Gas for others using Acquired Capacity, it will apply to such

services the same rates and tariffs as are applicable to on-system customers, as such rates

and tariffs may change from time to time. For purposes of any use of Acquired Capacity

covered by this Section 33(a), the "Shipper must hold title" requirement is waived.

(b) Nothing herein shall be read to preclude MEP from filing with the

Commission for different tariff provisions applicable to any service which MEP provides

using Acquired Capacity; provided, however, that the waiver of the "Shipper must hold

title" requirement hereunder shall not apply in such a circumstance and MEP will be

required to seek a case-specific waiver of that requirement from the Commission.

33.2 REQUESTED CAPACITY

(a) At the request of a Shipper or Shippers, MEP may enter into

transportation or storage agreements with upstream or downstream entities, including

other interstate pipelines, intrastate pipelines or local distribution companies for the

benefit of the requesting Shipper(s) (Requested Capacity). MEP may pass on the

requesting Shipper(s) any and all charges MEP is obligated to pay for Requested

Capacity under such agreements, with such charges to be reflected on the next Monthly

bill to the requesting Shipper(s).

(b) The understanding between MEP and the requesting Shipper(s) as

to such capacity will be set out in a separate contract.

33.3 LEASED CAPACITY

Nothing in this Section 33 shall be read to govern or relate to Leased

Capacity.


FERC Gas Tariff





34. DISCOUNTING

(a) In the event that MEP agrees to discount its rate to Shipper below MEP's

maximum rate under Rate Schedules FTS or ITS, as applicable, the discount terms shall

be reflected in the applicable Agreements or associated discount agreements and will

apply without the discount constituting a material deviation from MEP's form of service

agreement; provided, however, that any such discounted rates shall be between the

minimum and maximum rates applicable to the service provided under the applicable rate

schedule. Without limitation of the foregoing, such discounted rates may be based on:

(1) The published index prices for specific Points or other agreed-upon

published pricing reference points for price determination the use of which is not

inconsistent with Commission policy (such discounted rate may be based upon the

differential between published index prices or arrived at by formula). Such discounted

rate:

(i) shall not change the underlying rate design;

(ii) shall not include any minimum bill or minimum take

provision that has the effect of guaranteeing revenue;

(iii) shall define the rate component to be discounted; and

(iv) shall be limited by the applicable maximum and minimum

rates.

(2) any of the factors set out in subsection (b).

(b) Except as otherwise provided in any written agreement(s) between the

parties in effect during the term hereof, Shipper shall pay MEP the applicable maximum

rate(s) and all other lawful charges as specified in MEP's applicable rate schedule. Shipper

and MEP may agree that Shipper shall pay a rate other than the applicable maximum rate

so long as such rate is between the applicable maximum and minimum rates specified for

such service in the Tariff. MEP and Shipper may agree that a specific discounted rate will

apply only to certain volumes under the agreement. The parties may agree that a specified

discounted rate will apply only to specified volumes (MDQ or commodity volumes) under

the agreement; that a specified discounted rate will apply only if specified volumes are


FERC Gas Tariff





achieved or only if the volumes do not exceed a specified level; that a specified discounted

rate will apply only during specified periods of the Year or for a specifically defined

period; that a specified discounted rate will apply only to specified points, zones, mainline

segments, supply areas, transportation paths, markets or other defined geographical area(s);

that a specified discounted rate(s) will apply in a specified relationship to the volumes

actually transported; (i.e., that the reservation charge will be adjusted in a specified

relationship to volumes actually transported); that a discounted rate may be based on a

formula, including a formula utilizing pricing indices consistent with Section 34 of the

General Terms and Conditions of MEP's FERC Gas Tariff; and/or that a specific discount

rate shall apply only to reserves dedicated by Shippers to MEP's system. Notwithstanding

the foregoing, no discount agreement may provide that an agreed discount as to a certain

volume level will be invalidated if the Shipper transports an incremental volume above that

agreed level. In addition, the discount agreement may include a provision that if one rate

component which was at or below the applicable maximum rate at the time the discount

agreement was executed subsequently exceeds the applicable maximum rate due to a

change in MEP's maximum rates so that such rate component must be adjusted downward

to equal the new applicable maximum rate, then other rate components of the same

Agreement or a different Agreement for the same or a different service may be adjusted

upward to achieve the agreed overall rate, so long as none of the resulting rate components

exceed the maximum rate applicable to that rate component. Such changes to rate

components shall be applied prospectively, commencing with the date a Commission order

accepts revised tariff sheets. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed to alter

a refund obligation under applicable law for any period during which rates which had been

charged under a discount agreement exceeded rates which ultimately are found to be just

and reasonable.

(c) Surcharges. MEP may agree to discount any surcharges applicable to any

service Agreement to the maximum extent permitted by Commission policy.

(d) If the parties agree upon a rate other than the applicable maximum rate,

such written Agreement shall specify that the parties mutually agree either: (1) that the

agreed rate is a discount rate; or (2) that the agreed rate is a Negotiated Rate (or Negotiated

Rate Formula). In the event that the parties agree upon a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated

Rate Formula, this Agreement shall be subject to Section 30 of the General Terms and

Conditions of MEP's Tariff.





Issued On: August 1, 2013 Effective On: October 1, 2013


35. ANNUAL CHARGES ADJUSTMENT (ACA) SURCHARGE

35.1 PURPOSE

This Section of the General Terms and Conditions is filed pursuant to Section

154.402 and Subpart B of Part 382 of the Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(NGA) and the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978. The intent and purpose of this Section is to

establish an Annual Charges Adjustment (ACA) provision under which MEP can recover from

its customers annual charges assessed to it by the Commission pursuant to Part 382 of the

Commission's regulations (ACA Cost). All amounts assessed pursuant to Part 382 of the

Commission's regulations shall be recorded in Account 928. MEP will not seek to recover

annual charges assessed to it pursuant to Part 382 of the Commission's regulations in an NGA

Section 4 rate case. For its transportation Rate Schedules, MEP will collect an ACA unit

charge, as calculated by the Commission, for the purpose of recovering its ACA cost. This

Section establishes an ACA surcharge as set forth in the Currently Effective Rates section of

this Tariff.

35.2 APPLICABILITY

The ACA surcharge shall be applicable to all transportation transactions

performed by MEP.

35.3 BASIS OF THE ACA SURCHARGE

The rates for all transactions specified in Section 35.2 hereof shall be adjusted

by an ACA unit charge to recover ACA Cost. Such ACA unit charge, as revised annually and

posted on the Commission’s website 1/, is incorporated by reference into MEP’s FERC Gas

Tariff, Volume No. 1. The ACA unit charge shall be applied to the commodity component of

rates.

35.4 EFFECTIVE DATE OF CHARGES

The effective date of charges pursuant to this Section shall be

October 1.

_____________________

1/ MEP incorporates by reference into its Tariff the ACA unit charge, as revised annually and

posted on the Commission’s website, located at http://www.ferc.gov on the Annual Charges page

of the Natural Gas section.






36. PERIODIC RATE ADJUSTMENTS FOR FUEL GAS, UNACCOUNTED

FOR GAS AND BOOSTER COMPRESSION FUEL

36.1 PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY

(a) This Section 36 establishes a semi-annual periodic rate adjustment

provision, for the recovery by MEP of Fuel Gas and Unaccounted For Gas. These

adjustments result in the Fuel Gas and the Unaccounted For Gas Reimbursement

Percentages as set forth on Sheet Nos. 12 through 15 of this Tariff. Separate Fuel Gas

percentages are set out for Zone 1 and Zone 2. One Unaccounted For Gas

Reimbursement Percentage applies to all volumes transported on the System and is

determined hereunder on a System-wide basis. With respect to the Leased Capacity, a

separate Fuel Gas Percentage which includes lost and unaccounted for gas on the Leased

Capacity is set out on Sheet No. 5. Section 36.7 specifies the procedures to be utilized in

adjusting the Fuel Gas Percentage applicable to the Leased Capacity. In addition, a

separate incremental Booster Compression fuel percentage is set out for point(s) listed on

Sheet Nos. 12 through 15 where Booster Compression applies. Fuel Gas charges will not

be assessed for any transportation involving all or any portion of the path between

Bennington and the interconnection with Natural or with ETC near Natural's Compressor

Station No. 802. In addition, Fuel Gas charges will not be assessed for any

transportation that represents a physical backhaul. Mainline fuel will be assessed on

volumes transported on the CenterPoint Lateral based on whether the transportation was

a forward haul or backhaul on the mainline. No separate Fuel Gas or Unaccounted For

Gas charges shall apply to service under Rate Schedules PALS or IBS.

(b) This Section 36 specifies the procedures to be utilized in adjusting

such percentages to reflect changes in Fuel Gas, in Unaccounted For Gas and in Booster

Compression fuel per unit of service. All amounts for the reimbursement of Fuel Gas, of

Unaccounted For Gas and of Booster Compression fuel shall be recovered by MEP in-

kind by applying the percentages to the volumes of Gas transported on its System under

Rate Schedules FTS and ITS. If percentages which differ from those determined

hereunder are established for any Shipper pursuant to Section 30 of these General Terms

and Conditions (relating to Negotiated Rates or a Negotiated Rate Formula), that

contractual percentage shall be used in determining delivery volumes for that Shipper

(Equivalent Volumes, etc), but shall be without prejudice to MEP recovering additional

future amounts from such a Shipper consistent with Section 30.5 of these General Terms

and Conditions.






(c) Fuel Gas and Unaccounted for Gas associated with the Leased

Capacity are to be recovered pursuant to Section 36.7 hereof.

36.2 DEFINITIONS

(a) "Unaccounted For Gas," "Fuel Gas" and "Booster Compression"

shall have the meanings set out in Section 1 of these General Terms and Conditions.

(b) "Base Period" shall mean the six (6) Months ended three (3)

Months prior to the commencement of a new Recovery Period.

(c) "Recovery Period" shall mean the period during which the revised

percentages are to be in effect, which shall be a six (6) Month period commencing with the

effective date of the next redetermination as specified in Section 36.3.

(d) "Receipt Quantity" shall mean the volume of Gas received by MEP

at the various Receipt Points on its System on which Fuel Gas or Unaccounted For Gas

should be assessed pursuant to this Section 36. Separate Receipt Volumes shall be

calculated for Zone 1, Zone 2 and for Interim Period Service. For purposes of the

incremental Booster Compression fuel percentage, the Receipt Quantity shall mean all

volumes received at the point(s) listed on Sheet Nos. 12 through 15 where Booster

Compression applies.

(e) "Initial Effective Date" shall mean the first Day of the Month in

which Interim Period Service is first provided.

36.3 PERIODIC RATE ADJUSTMENT

(a) The initial level of the Fuel Gas Reimbursement Percentage and of

the Unaccounted For Gas Reimbursement Percentage shall be established in MEP's

certificate proceeding for its System, to be effective on the Initial Effective Date. These

percentages shall be redetermined effective on each six (6) months anniversary of the

Initial Effective Date. Separate Fuel Gas percentages are determined for Zone 1 and Zone

2. One Unaccounted For Gas Reimbursement Percentage applies to all volumes

transported on the System. In addition, a separate fuel gas percentage is applicable to the

Leased Capacity and shall be redetermined in accordance with the provisions of Section






36.7 hereof. The Leased Capacity Fuel Gas Percentage, includes lost and unaccounted for

gas on the Leased Capacity. Separate percentages are established for Interim Period

Service. A separate incremental Booster Compression fuel charge will be established for

each point(s) listed on Sheet Nos. 12 and 13 where Booster Compression applies, to be

initially effective on the first Day of the Month in which any Booster Compression is

placed into service.

(b) MEP shall file its adjustment to each of the reimbursement

percentages at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the redetermination. The

revised percentage(s) in any tracking filings shall be the sum of the Current Component

determined under Section 36.4 and the Deferred Component determined under Section

36.5. Any tracking filing submitted in accordance with this Section shall become effective,

subject to refund, on the designated effective date which is consistent with Section 36.3(a).

Any changes from the prior tracking level shall be subject to review in the tracking filing

proceeding.

36.4 CURRENT COMPONENT

The methodology used to derive the Current Component of the Fuel Gas

Reimbursement Percentage, of the Booster Compression fuel percentage and of the

Unaccounted For Gas Reimbursement Percentage is as follows:

(a) Fuel Gas, Booster Compression fuel and Unaccounted For Gas are

each divided by the relevant Receipt Quantity to calculate the Current Component of the

respective percentages. Separate Fuel Gas percentages are determined for Zone 1 and for

Zone 2. One value for Unaccounted For Gas Reimbursement shall be calculated, which

applies once to all volumes transported on the System. The Booster Compression fuel

percentage is an incremental rate applicable to Shippers with gas being compressed by

Booster Compression.






(b) Fuel Gas, Booster Compression fuel and Unaccounted For Gas to

be included in this calculation consist of the Fuel Gas, Booster Compression fuel and

Unaccounted For Gas actually experienced in the Base Period, utilizing best available

measurement information, adjusted for changes reasonably anticipated to occur during the

Recovery Period; provided, however, that for the initial redetermination, the calculation

shall reflect the months of actual experience for which data is available.

(c) The allocation of Fuel Gas between zones will be accomplished by

first allocating directly to a zone any fuel associated with compression that impacts only

one zone. All other Fuel Gas will be allocated between zones on a Mcf-mile allocation

basis.

(d) The Receipt Quantities used in these calculations shall be the

Receipt Quantities actually experienced in the Base Period, utilizing best available

measurement information, adjusted for changes reasonably anticipated to occur during the

Recovery Period.

36.5 DEFERRED COMPONENT

(a) A Deferred Component shall be calculated for: (i) the Fuel Gas

Reimbursement Percentage; (ii) the Unaccounted For Gas Reimbursement Percentage; and

(iii) the incremental Booster Compression fuel percentage. A deferred subaccount shall be

established and maintained related to each of these items. The Deferred Component shall

be the balance of the deferred subaccount as of the end of the Base Period expressed as

volumes divided by the Receipt Quantity. Separate deferred Fuel Gas components shall be

calculated for Zone 1 and for Zone 2. For Unaccounted For Gas Reimbursement, one

Deferred Component shall be determined for the entire System. For the incremental

Booster Compression Fuel Percentage, one Deferred Component shall be determined for

the point(s) listed on Sheet Nos. 12 and 13 where Booster Compression applies. The

Receipt Quantities used in these





Issued On: October 29, 2015 Effective On: December 1, 2015


calculations shall be the quantities actually experienced for the Base Period based on best

available information, adjusted for changes reasonably anticipated to occur during the

Recovery Period. The Deferred Component may be positive or negative.

(b) The accumulated deferred subaccount balances for each

reimbursement percentage is to be adjusted semi-annually to reflect the following, as

applicable:

(1) The amount associated with MEP's actual under- or over-

recovery at the end of each six (6) Month period of Fuel Gas and of Unaccounted For Gas.

(2) Adjustments to any prior Month's recoveries.

(c) The amount to be included as an adjustment in the deferral

subaccounts for any Month shall be calculated as follows, with separate calculations for

each Deferred Component identified in Section 36.5(a) hereof:

(1) MEP shall determine the actual Fuel Gas, the actual

Unaccounted For Gas, and Booster Compression fuel gas.

(2) MEP shall then determine the amount of Fuel Gas and the

amount of Unaccounted For Gas recovered for that Month, as follows: the amount of Fuel

Gas and of Unaccounted For Gas recovered shall be determined by multiplying the Fuel

Gas Reimbursement Percentage, the Booster Compression fuel percentage and the

Unaccounted For Gas Reimbursement Percentage in effect during the Month by the

applicable Receipt Quantity for the Month.

(3) The adjustment to the deferral subaccounts for the Month

shall be based on the difference between item (1) and item (2). This amount shall be

recorded in the deferral subaccount as follows:





Issued On: October 29, 2015 Effective On: December 1, 2015


(i) MEP shall debit the relevant deferral account in the

event the current Month actual amounts exceed the amounts that MEP recovered hereunder

for that Month.

(ii) MEP shall credit the relevant deferral account in the

event the current Month actual amounts are less than the total amount MEP recovered

hereunder.

(d) To transition to volume-based deferred subaccount balances for

each of the reimbursement percentages for Fuel Gas, Unaccounted for Gas, and Booster

Compression Fuel, each of the deferred subaccount balances as of November 30, 2015 will

be converted from dollar-valued to a volumetric equivalent, by dividing each deferred

subaccount balance by the Average Monthly Index Price, as defined in Section 1.4(a) of

the General Terms and Conditions, for November 2015.

36.6 EFFECTIVE DATE

The Fuel Gas Reimbursement Percentage and the Unaccounted For Gas

Reimbursement Percentage will be assessed beginning on the Initial Effective Date and

shall be revised hereunder on a periodic basis as set out in Section 36.3. The incremental

Booster Compression fuel percentage will be assessed beginning on the in-service date of

the initial Booster Compression and shall be revised on a periodic basis as set out in

Section 36.3. The Leased Capacity Fuel Percentage Gas Percentage will be assessed on the

Initial Effective Date, and shall be revised on a periodic basis, as set out in Section 36.7

hereof.






36.7 PERIODIC RATE ADJUSTMENT FOR THE LEASED CAPACITY

FUEL GAS PERCENTAGE:

(a) The Leased Capacity Fuel Gas Percentage reflects the charges

assessed by Enable Oklahoma to MEP for fuel gas and lost and unaccounted for gas, as

such charges are on file with the Commission, and may be revised from time to time. The

initial Leased Capacity Fuel Gas Percentage shall be the currently effective charges for fuel

gas and lost and unaccounted for gas applicable to the Leased Capacity that Enable

Oklahoma has on file with the Commission to be effective on the Initial Effective Date.

These percentages shall be redetermined in accordance with Section (b) hereof.

(b) MEP will adjust the Leased Capacity Fuel Gas Percentage on a

periodic basis, consistent with the timing of FERC filings made by Enable Oklahoma,

pursuant to its Statement of Operating Conditions, revising the fuel gas percentages

applicable to Enable Oklahoma's system. The fuel percentages on Enable Oklahoma's

system include a component for lost and unaccounted for gas. The adjustments to the

Leased Capacity Fuel Gas Percentage will reflect the fuel gas percentage Enable Oklahoma

has on file with the Commission applicable to the Leased Capacity and will be posted on

MEP's interactive website. MEP will maintain a deferred account to account for any

differences, should they occur, between Enable Oklahoma's fuel charges and MEP's

collections of same from its Shippers.
